Hi I am using a pre-leased IBM Small factor Desktop and think about upgrade it purely due to power consumption consideration. As it is currently used as a file server.

The problem is I can not find the manual, and don't want crack open it yet.

The CPU info I got is:

cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 15
model           : 3
model name      : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.53GHz
stepping        : 4
cpu MHz         : 2527.171
cache size      : 256 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 3
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe constant_tsc up pebs bts pni monitor ds_cpl cid xtpr
bogomips        : 5059.52
clflush size    : 64
power management:

From the Wikipedia ariticle I am reading, it could be either LGA 775 or Socket 478 based on CPU speed and cache size, which one it is?

Is it running Windows?

You could always download CPU-Z and have it tell you.




Audiophiles are such twits! They buy such pointless stuff: Gold plated cables, $2000 power cords. Idiots.

 

OOOHHHH HYPERFIBRE!

CPU-Z will tell you the chipset, aswell as the mainboard model, so you can then look at the manufacturers site to see what CPU's it will support.

the IBM small form factors have their model number on the front - e.g. MT-6073-A43

Go to Lenovo's support pages and put in this number and it will give you all the details of that model - including the CPU it shipped with.

Sorry guys, no Windows no CPU-Z, and I am remote SSH though it, so, I don't know which model number it is and couldn't crack open it to read from the CPU or MB right now. Will get the model number once got home.

I was hopping some information such as model num or stepping could used to find out at least what socket it is running.

Install 'cpuid' on it - there should be a package available for your linux distro.

Going though Wikipedia and Intel datasheet didn't find out anything useful, I finally give up and
check out the datasheet from IBM. My one is a  Socket 478, and hopefully I can replace it with a Mobile processor.
