Soldering iron wattage?

I was wondering what would be the best wattage for a solderiing iron to be used on a motherboard or video card? I have a 35 watt iron and an adjustable butane one from Radio Shack, don't know what the wattage is though on it. I will be messing with the smaller parts on the boards.
Thanks in advance,
 
You'll probably have better luck with a 15w. Most have smaller tips and are meant for smaller or delicate electronics work.
