That's a Pentium-D, though. He's asking about the new Core 2 Duo chips, which so far have benchmarked as fantastic processors. MUCH better than the Pentium-D series, and according to benchmarks, quite a step up from the Athlon 64 X2 chips as well. But I'm not sure if anyone has a working Core 2 Duo system up with ProTools LE yet.
I was planning on building a Core 2 Duo system, but after AMD cut their prices so much I went with one of the new socket-AM2 Athlon 64 X2 chips instead. While the Core 2 Duo should outperform my 4600+ system, it should also be more expensive. I went with what seemed to me to be my price/performance sweet spot.
