Any dual core Pentium M chips are technically "Core Duo". Dell has been
shipping Dual Core P-M / Core Duo laptops for a while--even before Apple
announced.
All that Core Duo is is the Yonah DC P-M.

The CoreDuo is Intel's new mobile CPU line and to the best of my
knowledge no current products have it. The first ones will be the new
Mac Book Pros announced by Jobs. The other major notebook
manufactureres will be close behind.
You have a "dual core" CPU but not a CoreDou, which is the new
marketing name. Intel is dropping the name Pentium.

If you plug a USB 2.0 device into one of the new Inteo Core Duo laptops,
it
reduces the battery life by 80 minutes.
Microsoft and Intel knew about this bug months ago but didn't bother to
tell
anyone. Many "tech journalists" have evaluated the laptops and none of
them
found this bug.
The Core Duo is the chip that all of Apple's new laptops and Intel's
entire
new line of laptops is built on. Intel blames M$ drivers, which is
interesting.
