Any computer can support two is as long as you program the dual operating systems.
Core2Duo is a dual-core processor (two processors), as the i5 is a quad-core processor (four processors). So the i5 is, significantly.

In terms of performance, The Intel Core i5 out-performs the Intel Core 2 Duo. So if you have the money, go for the i5.
the 520M processor inside the 8440p is an Intel i5 520M with 2 cores and 4 threads so your answer is 2 processors
Intel Core i5 is a fast, responsive processor. It is not as good as Core i7, but better than Celtron, Core 2 Duo, and Core i3.
A standard processor had one core like in P1, P2, P3, P4. It means it can performed only one task at a time. Now to make computer able to perform multiple tasks simultaneously it is being manufactured with multiple processors. A Dual-core processor has two cores. A Quad-core processor has four cores. An i3 processor has 2 cores. An i5 processor has 2 or 4 cores (depending on the model you have.) An i7 processor has 2, 4 or 6 cores (depending on the model you have.)
The Intel corporation says yes, it supports core 2 Duo processor.
it depends on the graphics, the i5 processor is better but the graphics on the studio XpS 16 are better
i5 is the recommended processor and 8gb RAM is also recommended. It should look great.
