Be very, very careful in purchasing Core 2 Duo. There are major problems with the chip that have been documented across the board. Many, many people are steering clear of the chip for at least a year. This brings up a simple thought... is it better to stick with a tried and true chip at present generation or be the Microsoft oooopps... the Intel public testbed. I don't care who does what as long as my performance is good, my price is low and my TCO is even lower.
