i have a centrino duo. is that a dual core?
Yes. Technically, you have a Core 2 Duo processor. Centrino refers to a bunch of parts, not just the processor, including the CPU, chipset, and the wireless adapter.

^^ Someone does real well in Intel's retail edge tests :)

But as a general rule of thumb with intel, if it has "Duo" in the name you can be willing to bet its a dual-core processor. If it has "Quad" in the name (like the Core 2 Quad) then you can be willing to bet it is a quad core. (this last paragraph of typing was information given to me by the intel rep for the store i work at. any problems with it and i'll get you his name :D )
