Intel "dual core" vs. "Core 2 Duo"

Getting a new computer - our most challenging use is home video
editing (and no video game playing).

What are the differences between an Intel "dual core" (such as the
E2160-1.8 GHz) versus the Intel "Core 2 Duo" (such as the E4300-1.8
GHz)?

The E4300 has a 2 mb cache compared to a the 1 mb cache for the E2160,
and both have a 800 MHz FSB - so what's the real difference between
the "dual core" and the "Core 2 Duo"?

Thanks!
