[wplug] Core duos?

[Richard Farina]

Interestingly enough I see very few Core Duos anymore, mostly I see Core 
2 Duos.  Now this is an important distinction as I understand it because 
the Core 2 Duos are 64-bit and the previous ones were not.  Also I don't 
recall about the Core Duos but I believe that all Core 2 duos have the 
cpu virtualization extentions as well.
