I'm amazed at the spring of info you have. At the moment, I'm not sure which version of Sapphire I have. All I can say is that it is a Sapphire model 9304, made in China and the power consumption rating is 0.45 watts max. That's a lot of rating points per watt! Max output is rated at 50 mA. It's possible that one of these numbers might indicate the cpu speed, but I doubt it unless the model number does. I would think the different speeds would make for different model numbers, though. Would have been a minor selling point for Novag. Either way, there's quite a lot crammed in that little box. Uhmm...the dog ate my homework Regards, Chuck
