Dual core or single core, you won't be able to maximize its capabilities unless you use them the right way and what they are really built for. It also depends on how you use it and maintain your system.
Stop fooling yourself with the number on the gigahertz and buy the laptop that's really built according to how you will use it!

What you want is a Centrino Duo based notebook. The Core Duo series offers many advantages over the other Intel chips available for laptops.
1) The Centrino name is simply a marketing label used to describe a processor that is design especially for notebooks. There are additional instruction sets on the CPU to handle power conservation and wireless features.
2) Typically, the Duo series have a larger cache and front side bus (FSB) than the other laptop chips.
3) The price point on these is great right now and if you can wait a few months it will get even better. Quad-core processing is coming out soon and all the CoreDuos will get even cheaper.
For just about every test, the CoreDuo will out perform the Pentiums. The Pentium may do video conversion a bit faster (a minute or two faster - tops), but other than that, the Duo will do better.
BTW - I think you may be talking about the Pentium D 960? That runs at 3.6Ghz but it is only for desktops. The CoreDuo chip you mentioned will not outperform that 960 in most cases, but If you could set up a desktop to do everything that Centrino is designed to do, match up hardware as best you can, and THEN run the tests it would be pretty close.
