I know that certain PowerEdge 2850 servers come equipped with dual core Xeon CPUs, and when I got mine secondhand I didn't think it did. However, recently I have been given some indications that I may actually have these multicore CPUs. Of course, I don't know this for sure and would like to check. I'm running Ubuntu Server without a desktop environment, is there any way I can check? (I feel like this question sounds blissfully hopeful and incredibly silly, but please humor me.)

Yes, there is!! :sol: You need to use the following command to display all information about the CPU (open terminal and type the following command at bash prompt): "$ cat /proc/cpuinfo"

To count processor (including cores), enter:
grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo

If you need any more info let me know. Good luck!!
