X86 vs X86-64

Hey, very simple post. I came about X86 and X86-64. To me the 64 would mean 64Bit?

But under X86-64 it had things like P4 extreme and Pentium D's. Pentium D's are dual cores i think (i dont keep upto date with computers these days), so is a dual core intel classed as X86-64?

I have a Intel Centrino Core Duo, i am guessing this is just X86, but core duo is part of the D range i think, dual core, so is it X86-64?

Please unconfuse me...
