Did I read that correctly? 205w TDP for a 4 Core Phenom 9500?

That must be entire system draw surely? (Sorry for double posting I couldn't edit my previous post)

According to this chart it should only be 89W TDP so I'd agree
it's probably for the whole system...

It even mentions (89W) at the top of the column in

BTW...

There is something wrong with this forum as late... The
"Edit" button seems to be missing after a certain date/time...

I can still see an "Edit" button in some of my older posts,
but not in any new ones...
