Basic questions about Sony AR320E

Hey everyone. New to the forum and owner of VAIO AR320E. I guess it's kind of silly asking these questions after I purchase the computer but it's still good to know.

1. This is a Core 2 Duo processor, no? The salesperson said it was and I thought the description said that as well but someone in the forum, http://www.notebookreview.com/price/default.asp?productID=18115&productFamilyID=799&display=opinionDetail , the post dated 5/12/07 by User5, said that it isn't a Core 2 Duo, and that it's a Core Duo. The description is a bit confusing for someone with medium computer skills. It says "Intel® Centrino® Duo mobile technology with interrelated Intel® Core™2 Duo mobile processor T5500". Is it a true Core 2 Duo or no? What does interrelated mean?

2. Similar question as above but about the video card. I saw that it has a 335MB video card but when I actually go in to the specs from my laptop, it says something like 64MB for video and 335MB for graphics, or something of that nature. Is it a true 335MB video card dedicated?

3. Lastly, I somehow disabled the on-screen volume display and can't figure out how to turn it back on. Anyone know how enable that feature?

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

It should be Core2Duo. If the receipt says it is core2duo, then it is. As far as I know T5500 is a Core2Duo. CoreDuo usually T2XXX. ALthough Intel might change it since Santa Rosa is coming.
