What exactly is the difference between the CWBOX and CNBOX 64bit single core CPU's? They have the exact same price.
Example: ADA3200CNBOX and ADA3200CWBOX

CNBOX is 62W... CWBOX may be 45 or 52 or whatever....like I said...can't find hard info on it.
Also, do these support DDR2 800? I know the Athlon 64 X2 dual cores can, but I don't know if these do.
This is for a computer I intend to build for my brother.
--EDIT--
I just found evidence that a 3500+ CNBOX is 35W, the rest are 62W, but, this 3500+ CWBOX is 62W
The Single Cores can of course support DDR2-800 through overclocking.
I'm planning on placing this on an EPoX EP-AF550G PRO.
If the DDR2-800 divider is present, then all you have to do is set to 800 and you won't have to overclock the CPU.
But remember... Odd multiplier chips won't actually reach 800 without overclocking because you can't have a 1/2 ram divider.
Well, I can choose a 2GHz, 2.4GHz, 2.8GHz, and 3.2GHz CPU and it will run the RAM at 400MHz, DDR2 800 (I looked at the motherboard manual). I chose the Athlon 64 3200+, which runs at 2GHz, and for me (on the EPoX EP-MF570 SLI), the Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2GHz 65W CPU.
The attachment is from the EP-AF550G PRO, but all the EPoX AM2 board manuals have this chart.
