How would I know if I have a "Core Duo"??? I have a laptop with dual cores or at least dnet says it is. Is there some kind of logo?

Microsoft and Intel knew about this bug months ago but didn't bother to tell anyone. Many "tech journalists" have evaluated the laptops and none of them found this bug. The Core Duo is the chip that all of Apple's new laptops and Intel's entire new line of laptops is built on. Intel blames M$ drivers, which is interesting. -- Brian -- Brian
