The "Core 2" processors are 64-bit, and slightly faster (in most
cases, but not all) than the older "Core" versions...
Not all variants of the Core/Core 2 architecture cpus support
virtualisation (some of the low end Core ones don't have VT support
for some reason). None of them support HT AIUI.
wikipedia has extensive info on all the different models.
