Hi Sharath

If you're talking about the basics, there is no obvious difference between a Core 2 Duo Intel processor and any other dual cored processor. Both models have two separate processing cores contained within one physical unit and made available to all OSs which are compatible with dual core processors (XP, Vista and the latest Windows Server editions certainly are, although XP doesn't use the cores as effectively as possible).

However, Core 2 Duo is a trademark specifically for a range of Intel processors with dual cores. There are other processors produced by Intel which are dual-cored but don't come under the "Core 2 Duo" name, due to the range and various other specifics about the units themselves. (Of course AMD also produce dual-cored CPUs). Some people would say because it's an Intel it will run cooler compared with other CPUs and other older Intel Pentium models. Personally I've never delved that far into it so don't have an opinion myself.

Overall, both a standard dual-core CPU and a core 2 duo have two processing cores with which to process data and information, but they differ from other brands and Intel ranges due to their power and heat production. I guess you could say that all Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs are dual-core CPUs, but not all dual-core CPUs are Core 2 Duo.

Thanks Matthew...
I need to ask you 2 things...
have you mass deployed office 2007?
Have you installed WDS/RIS
Not Office 2007, the organisations I work at don't currently use it.
I have knowledge of WDS and RIS deployments, but not actually done it myself!
Thanks Matthew..
Would be needing help when i start deployment :-))
