Dual core vs Core2Duo

Sounds the same right? Wrong. People are confused especially those who are not technically inclined which of the two is which. So am I, before. Dual core basically 2 processors but in a single package/socket. It has twice the speed comparing to past processors. Both are names of processors created by Intel.

DUAL CORE	CORE 2 DUO
1. First generation of dual core processors based on Pentium M	1. Core 2 Duo is the second generation of Dual core
2. Both Intel and AMD produce dual core processor	2. Intel name its dual core procs as Core 2 Duo
3. E2140 runs at 1.6 GHz with 1 MB L2 and 800 MHz FSB, E2160 with 1.8 GHz with 1MB L2 and 800 MHz FSB	3. L2 (2MB-6MB) clock speed (1.06 GHz -3.16 GHz)

HOW TO ADD 3RD COLUMN ON MINIMA TEMPLATE

I'm not quite happy with the templates that blogspot is offering. Am happy with the way you can rearrange the elements into your website, and the term free web hosting option from this site. Researching further, even if I don't know anything about programming, CSS, HTML, etc, I found out about this link that explains it all.

Thank you Amanda for your blog, and because am so happy with how you present it, I will share it to everybody. One thing I find out about the minima template is from your blog, this HTML code:

#sidebar-wrapper { width: 220px; float: right; word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */ overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */ }

you wrote with the words highligted in red: "right" is not there. In mimina template, it was float endslide something. Common sense told me to change the endslide thing to what you prefer: "right". After following all your instructions, I got a 3 column template! The result is this blog.

Now I want to make the background not pure white but with a picture of anything I like. That I will research further.
Again, thanks for this wonderful help!
