Hey, i was just surfing the net and stumbled upon a site called spymac.com that mention the upgrade to the macbooks. It had a link to the play.com UK online store that has the C2D Macbooks up for preorder. It states the release date is Nov 13,2006.

I don't know how true it is. If you click on the pic to get more info it actually states it has a Core Duo.... so you never know. It would be strange to list the same laptop twice on the website though.

It is completely untrue. Apple does not give out specific dates like that for product releases, nor do they allow "pre-orders" on their hardware.
I also wouldn't put any stock into a site that follows practices like this:

Last week, Play.com published, and removed, descriptions of new Core 2 Duo MacBooks. The retailer has once again posted the new Core 2 Duo Macbooks on its store..

Why were they published and later removed?
This is an example of speculation at the extremes. This retailer is so desperate as to allow a person to "pre-order" and item that Apple has neither officially recognized, announced, or released.
I would not be surprised if Apple's legal team is looking into this as we speak.
