Core 2 is 64bit. the Intel Core Duo is not.

I don't know how to tell based on /proc/cpuinfo though.

The Core 2 is compatible with AMD64 (which I find to be a bit of irony
considering all these years AMD was compatible with Intel). Therefore the
same kernel is used for both Intel and AMD 64bit CPUs.
