    2.0ghz because they are both the same 2mb cache, same fsb - but the 2.0ghz is 500mhz faster.

    although core 2 duo is better when compared to the the same speed of core duo (2.0ghz core 2 duo is 4mb cache, not just 2), in this case, the 2.0ghz will def be faster

    I agree with kickace. The Core Duo will be faster.

    On average, I would put C2D around 10% faster than CD due to internal tweaks, so 1.5GHz C2D would be the equivalent of a 1.66GHz CD.

    I also agree with the others, the core duo is the best of the two.
