I believe that C2D's are slightly more power efficient. Besides I
don't think you should find much difference for the type of work
that you've mentioned.
Reading up on
http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2808&p=1
there doesn't seem much to differenciate between the two on
what I saw.
Are both the models you compared on price having the same
hardware except for the processor? Could be that the price
difference is there because of something else other than the
processor.
