azuz,

Where did you find the processor info from?

Try this, if you haven't already.

Click the start orb =>then right click 'Computer' => at the bottom of the drop box click 'Properties'

Under 'System' you'll see:

Processor:  

What does it say here?

Should say something like:  "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU      E7500  @  2.93GHz     2.93GHz"

If it says "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU", then it's a "Core2 Duo'. The "E7500" is just an example yours may be different.

Google what it says there, for example: "Intel Core2 Duo E7500 2.93GHz"

You should find the Intel website with complete description of the processor.

Good luck,
