Sure, and it implements the amd64 architecture which is what is
important (for x86, for example, we don't care if the processor
was produced by intel, amd, ibm or anyone else, just the architecture
matters and in this case it is called amd64; yes, intel calls it another
way, but it doesn't matter).

I never talked about CoreDuo.

As I said, we don't have such a machine available.

The poster was explicitly talking about a core 2 duo box.
