| /proc/cpuinfo from one of the 1850s:
| 
| processor	: 0
| vendor_id	: GenuineIntel
| cpu family	: 15
| model		: 4
| model name	: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.40GHz
| stepping	: 3

That's NetBurst.  Beyond that, it's hard to figure out what model.  But 
that's the important information.

| Memory example from dmidecode on an 2850:
| 
| Memory Device
| 	Array Handle: 0x1000
| 	Error Information Handle: Not Provided
| 	Total Width: 72 bits
| 	Data Width: 64 bits

That's ECC (each 8-byte word has 8 additional bits for ECC)

| 	Type: DDR2

But I don't know how to tell if it is registered.  Almost all recent
ECC memory is registered, so this is just of theoretical interest.
