Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who responded to my query so quickly over the weekend and provided a very valuable education.
I didn't think dual-processor (seperate socket) laptops existed, and I'd heard Core 2 Duo was like it, but need to learn more from reliable, educated sources. These lists are wonderful! What I learned, in a nutshell was: - Core 2 Duo is essentially a dual processor system that is slightly less efficent that having two separate processors on the same board (similar to two processors back-to-back, depending on the manufacturing process used) - Having two separate processors on the same motherboard might be cost and power-consuming prohibitive - Core Duo is less efficient than Core 2 Duo (put extremely simply - I'd have to look at the email responses to offer a better qualified answer) Thanks again!
