I'm trying to roughly match it to one of the procs on this list: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html
My suspicion is that it's one of the old Xeon's near the bottom in the ~1000 range.
Best Regards,
Jerret

Without a doubt it's a pre-Conroe (aka C2D) Xeon and because it supports hyper threading (HT in the flags) it's probably a Prescott core...and btw I'm sorry in advance. your CPU is not on that chart.

Thank you sir! I'm not at all surprised and it simply makes the decision to move to another provider that much easier.

Jerret

Question: Were the old Prescott core's 64 bit? Here's the output from uname -a:
Linux <hostname> 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 29 13:16:15 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It's been a few years but I believe 64-bit extensions were added back on the Northwood core which predate Prescott by 12 or so months.

Correction, it's an Irwindale CPU which is in a nutshell the 2nd coming of the Prescott. Irwindale is the Xeon version of the Prescott and included 64-bit extensions. I had said the Northwood CPUs had 64-bit extensions in error. While your CPU could actually have a "Cedar Mill" core, the only major difference is that Cedar Mill was made on a 65nm process and Irwindale was made on a 90nm process (more heat, more power consumption).
Either way, the architecture of the NetBurst CPUs was pretty crap-tastic and is why AMD gained such a competitive edge until Conroe/Penryn (and soon Nehalem, bye bye final Opteron advantage) came out and has mopped the floor with AMDs remains.
