Core 2 Duos have the EM64T extensions. Core Duos (Yonah) are a mobile
chip only, not a full line of processors like the Core 2 architecture
(Merom, Conroe, Woodcrest).

I suspect the Core 2 chips do not suffer from the same security
implications as HT-enabled processors. I'm not certain, but I think
each processor has access to half the cache so the only reason it's
shared is that it's on the same die and both cores are using parts of
it.

The fact Core Duos are only 32-bit means Intel is still
only concerned with shortend gains on the Windows
market, not long term migration to 64-bit PCs like
everyone else... And banking on Microsoft has never
been a solid idea; its too bad banks use Windows;
there's a security nightmare, but a topic in and of
itself...
