Yes the Semperon is a 45W CPU and the max power draw through PCI is 25W I believe so you should be fine.

Yes but make sure you double check the power out as some can be 10V and some 12V. Also make sure it is less than 15A.

AC 100v 1.3A
DC 19v 3.95A

bugger! I have a radioshack multi volt adaptor, the type when you can select a volt from 3v up to 12volt, wouldnt one of these do?
