The Pentium Duo I referred to is not a Core Duo but a Pentium Dual Core[1] "These closely resembled the Core 2 Duo E4300 processor with the exception of having 1 MB L2 cache instead of 2 MB" We are talking here about a 55€ E2140 vs. 100€ E4300. So yes I would say the price difference is considerable while the difference in performance will likely be negligible in a vdr environment.
