Core Duo it's a x86 processor. it doesn't support x86_64.

Core 2 Duo it's a x86_64 and support 64bit technology.

My lappie has a Centrino Duo sticker on it, and was very happy running
the F8 X86_64 live DVD, so I would assume that your blanket statement
above needs some tweaking. Some Core Duo CPUs *are* 64-bit capable.


Anyone who cares should check www.intel.com. It's what I did before buying (I wanted virtualisation support).
