[BBLISA] Dual processor laptops?

[Eddy Harvey]

I'm definitely in favor of dualcore.
Sometimes on the dualcore processors you get less than twice the cache, or
they're forced to lower the clock due to heat and interference constraints.
But in fact, dualcore does mean dual processor.

Subject: [BBLISA] Dual processor laptops?

I've been asked to spec out a dual processor laptop.  What is the difference
between Intel's Duo and having dual processors?  I've heard that the Duo
Core puts two processors back-to-back, affectively making it a dual
processor.  Is 
this correct?   How does this really differ, if at all, from having two 
separate processors on the motherboard?

We are largely a Dell shop, but I don't have to go solely with Dell. Ignore
budgets for now.

Thanks for leads.

Scott
