Proc/CpuInfo
 

Hey all,

I am pretty sure I bought a 2CPU server that is housed in my data center, but it's been a while since we bought it. How can I tell for sure that it is a 2 Processor machine?

I did a cat /proc/cpuinfo and it's actually showing CPU 0-3 (4 CPU) but I am thinking that this is because it's a multicore processor. I could also be lead to believe this because there are 2 physical addresses to the CPU.

Any help to query my boxen to find out would be most appreciated.

you should post this.

sounds like you have two dual core processors.

what's your kernel version?

and what does "top" say? press "1" in top...

so what's the issue? can't you look at the purchase document?

Yeah, I did find that, and it says two procs.

Me thinks this is a hyperthread or something (It's a Xeon, do they make Xeon in Hyperthreading?)
