Sorry, sorry. :-) Another question: In shopping for CPUs, I see some
where the model name includes "(65W)" and other, seemingly identical ones,
where it doesn't. Case in point:
Athlon 64 X2 4600+ (65W)

Athlon 64 X2 4600+

You pay $4 extra for the "(65W)" variant. They have the same cache sizes
(L1=128K+128K, L2=2*512K). I see on other sites that the non-65W version
has a power consumption of 89W, so my WAG is that the 65W version is lower
power and therefore slower?
