6 Technological process(those numbers like 65nm and 90nm) does not affect CPU
7 speed. T.p. affects on max CPU clock frequency for this tech process(i.e. for
8 this CPU series) and total dissipated power(i.e. TDP, those that are 65W and
9 89W)

12 I have AMD X2 4400+ (89W or more - don't remember exactly), ASUS GeForce
13 EN7950GT, two harddisks - WD-160 PATA and WD-200 SATA, two DVD drives
14 (DVD-ROM/CD-RW and DVD/CD-RW), motherboard - ASUS A8NE. And,you know, my 300W
15 power supply is OK with all of it.
