I know this is embarassing but I don't know how to calculate the wattage of a CPU. :D I had never really given much thought to it before but now I'm curious.

I got a PIII 800EB @ 1020Mhz at 2.1V's. How many watts is that? And is my non-overclocked watts 34W?

Also, I have seen some posts where people were saying that their 1.4Ghz Thunderbirds were using in excess of 100W's. :eek: Is that really true? If it is then I'm amazed that a Thunderbird uses that much more watts than a Coppermine. :eek:

I know of a site that would calculate it for you, and I have it bookmarked on my main rig, but I'm currently waiting for my motherboard to arrive. sry.. but maybe a forum search can help you out.
