The core 2 duo is actually better because since it's newer, it's more efficient, uses less power, run cooler, and therefore has a longer lifespan. I also uses the cache more efficiently which means it doesn't need2mb per core, it just splits the 1mb evenly. Overall, the core 2 duo is much better than the pentium.

Wow, I fail. I forgot it's a pentium dual-core. . But even still, in my experience, there are faster and run cooler than the Pentium D processors. And they overclock like a dream.

It is still using the Core micro-architecture, even if it has Pentium in the name,
