Core2Duo is a dual-core processor (two processors), as the i5 is a quad-core processor (four processors). So the i5 is, significantly.
The difference is in the processors. Intel's processors are named Core 2 and Core i5. The i5 is a bit faster because it is a quad core, while the core 2 uses only 2 cores.
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.
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.
If you have a compatible motherboard then this will work. But I highly doubt it will be compatible. the problem with replacing the core 2 duo with the newer i5 is the size and pin difference, the core 2 duo is simply smaller than the i5, you would have to buy a new mother board, which in most cases it would be cheaper to just buy a new laptop with the i5 or i7 in it.
Core I5 480m is significantly faster the i5 480m can turbo-boost to 2.93 whereas the 370m is stuck at 2.4
No, it would mean completely changing the mobo and everything connected to it and its just not possible.
