Yes, I hate dealing with old computers because of the previous posts I made, but I have a relative with the Dell Dimension E520. Now, there are 2 types of E520s: The E520 with a Core 2 Duo, and the E520 with the Pentium D, in which I have the Pentium D. What I want to know is what Pentium D type is it; is it a 990, 850, etc. and what socket type it is.

The main reason I'm asking this is because my relative's computer has Windows, though it's corrupt and he's using Linux, which means I can't get CPU-Z. I looked at all the alternatives for CPU-Z for Linux, but they were not detailed enough, or I just couldn't install them.

The Dell Dimension E520 seems to come with many variations of Pentium D like Pentium D 915 / Pentium D 925 etc (there could be more). In either case the Socket is the same PLGA775.

If you want a CPU-Z alternative in Linux, try these:
CPU-G & I-NEX excellent alternative to CPU-Z for linux.

CPU-G does the job for me, I-Nex is suppose to be a CPU-Z clone but I always had issues with it crashing. You can install CPU-G in Ubuntu or Mint using the following commands in Terminal.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cpug-devs/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cpu-g
