We are trying to sort all the information we have about our servers here and at some other places.

While TP/SM has the very useful “Hardware” section in the Orbit it confusing sometimes.

We are using dmidecode to get the FSB rate, for example, or memory modules installed and etc. However it is lack of accurate information.

As an example it may report External Clock for CPU (FSB) as 133 MHz while Orbit claim it to be 533 MHz. I do believe that PIV Xeon should have 533 FSB already, but I may be mistaken.

If there are any proven and stable source of such information? Something like Sisoft Sandra under Windows.
