And of course Tom was only measuring power to the CPU socket, and there's another 5W or so for the Northbridge chip on Intel motherboards. STRIKE THAT! Just checked and the 925X MCH has 12.3W of thermal dissipation. Add a watt for the PCI Express version, so most of the power is memory and not AGP related. 13.3 watts is over 40% of the power Tomshardware reported for the entire 3500+ CPU with memory controller (31W)! By comparison, the MCH (northbridge chip) used for Pentium M chips (no graphics) has 1.8W TDP. Petz
