how to get the number of sockets

[Marti, Rob]

My desktop's motherboard only has 2 sockets, but your command gives:

[root at ab1-4-160 ~]# dmidecode | grep "Socket Designation"
        Socket Designation: CPU
        Socket Designation: Not Specified
        Socket Designation: Not Specified

Not really sure that's accurate enough :) (and yeah I only have 1 socket filled... I feel like less of a man)

/usr/sbin/dmidecode will give you similar information as well.

# dmidecode | grep "Socket Designation"
                Socket Designation: Proc 1
                Socket Designation: Proc 2 ...
