Hello,

This is sort of off-topic, but not.

I'm in the market for a new computer with Vista. I can't for the life
of me figure out if the Intel Core 2 Duo is a true 64 bit processor, a
fake one, or nothing at all to do with 32 bit.

Define "a true 64 bit processor"

64 bit datapaths?
64 bit addressing?
64 bit functional units?

None of the above. It's all defined by the marketing department. If the
marketing department says the Z-80 is a 64-bit processor, it is.
