Core2Duo is a product made by Intel (Core Duo was the first line... Core 2 Duo was the second of the line. Think "Pentium", "Pentium II" etc.). Dual core is a general term that refers to all processors (including the Core 2 Duo) that have 2 cores.

CoreDuo processors are still 32bit processors. Core2Duos are full 64 bit processors.

Depending how geeky you wanna get, check out

Differences in socket configs, as brzillian said 32bit and 64bit, core 2's run a higher front side bus, and have a higher capacity for l2 cache
