A Intel core 2 duo proccessor is the a hardware in computers that basically is the brain of the computer. It is also know the Central processing unit (CPU). IT interprets the data and actions on the computer and runs the functions. Processor speed is measured in giga hertz (Ghz) the more giga hertz you have the faster your PC will run in relationship to your RAM, Hard drive, and video card (basically).

´Dual core' just means that there are 2 separate cores in the CPU. Intel has made dual core pentuim 4, core duo and core 2 duo CPUs. ´Core 2 Duo´ is just one type of dual core CPU that Intel has made.
There is no difference between dual core and core 2 duo. Intel just name its recent family of dual core processors as "core 2 duo". Both (core 2 duo and dual core) works in same fashion.
