Q. What is the difference between dual core and core 2 duo?
Dual core processors are those that contain 2 cores in a single silicon chip while Core 2 Duo is the name given by Intel to its second batch of dual core processors. Intel’s dual core processors were simply 2 Pentium 3 processors that were fabricated in a single chip. …

Q. Which is better Intel Pentium or Core 2 Duo?
The Core 2 Duo is a more recent line of microprocessors that succeeded the Core line. Although you might think that Core 2 Duos would have higher clock speeds as they are newer, you would be gravely mistaken as some of the last single core Pentium processors have much higher clock speeds than Core 2 Duos.
Q. Are all Core 2 Duos 64-bit?
3 Answers. Yes, all Core 2 Duo chips are 64-bit capable, that is includes the EM64T feature. Of course, if your running a 32-bit OS then it’ll be no different then a 32-bit chip, but if you put a 64-bit OS on your system the Core 2 Duo chips will handle it properly.
Q. Can I upgrade my core 2 duo processor?
You cannot upgrade it to a later generation of Core processor. What you MIGHT be able to do is upgrade to a faster version of the Core 2 Duo. In general, systems with Intel CPUs can only accept another CPU from the same generation.
Q. How do I overclock my Core 2 Duo?
To provide some idea of overclocking abilities with other Core 2 Duo processors, we ran quick tests with E6700 (2.67GHz), and E6600 (2.4GHz). The test E6700 reached a stable 3.4GHz at default voltage and topped out at 3.9GHz with the Tuniq Cooler. The 2.4GHz E6600 turned out to be quite an overclocker in our tests.
Q. Can I overclock Core 2 Duo E8400?
Originally Answered: Can a Core 2 Duo E8400 be overclocked? Yes but that is pointless today given that this chip is 13 years old. Assuming that your board supports overclocking, you could raise the FSB to 400 for 3.6GHz which will also set your DRAM and CPU ratio to 1:1 if DDR2–800 is used.
