Can i play core 2 duo games on Dual Core?

Well the questions says it all. The only difference is of generation. I think Dual Core can run Core 2 Duo games on minimum (by minimum means if i have to lower to least and play it on 800x600) but i wanted it to confirm so that my money wouldn't go to waste. Please tell me i can run them.

What a silly question . Of course you can play them . If the speed of your new dual core processor is more you might see performance increase , if it is less than performance drop. By the way why are you thinking of buying dual core processor . You must at least buy core i3.

Dual core? Which dual core? What is the model number of your current CPU and which one are you planning to get?

Well i already bought Dual Core E2180 with 256MB of graphic card (ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro). I already have a thread asking about few games that i want to play on my PC (http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/127222-13-tomshardware#10201392) well you can see answers that i got. You guys said that i don't have a chance(I don't mean any disrespect). Since i posted this thread there was no answer for 2 days so i bought call of duty: modern warfare 3 and it ran smoothly with 1024x768 resolution (not joking) so i am thinking can i play others as well with the most lowest settings.
