    Which one will be better? I hear that more games in the future will rely on dual core capabilities thus maybe the T2300 will be a better investment, but I couldn't find any benchmarks between the two. Anyone know how they compare and any links to offer me?

    Thanks

    If you can get the dual-core, go for it. The T2300 is a better investment.

    Agreed - the dual-core is a much better investment if you can get it - it'll be supported with newer software in the upcomming months/years.

    Since the Core Duo has two processor cores, it will be incredibly faster in intense multitasking, such as running programs side by side.

    The PM 760 will have the edge in single threaded apps.

    What are you doing to do with the notebook? I'd recommend going with the dual-core if you can.
