Hello List,
Could someone tell me what processor type I should select during kernel
config for
an Intel Core 2 Duo T5600 chip.
Thanks,
Steve

the x86-64 "generic" option works best:
config GENERIC_CPU
bool "Generic-x86-64"
help
Generic x86-64 CPU.
that one.

For 32-bit kernels, I suppose it should be one of Pentium-M or Pentium-4.

Pentium-M. Pentium-4 is an entirely different microarchitecture that
needs different optimizations than the Core 2 Duo; the pentium M
optimizations will work well on a Core 2 Duo... (although to be fair,
the Core 2 Duo runs just about all code you throw at it really really
fast anyway)
