Check CPU architecture

dmidecode is a linux tool for dumping a computer's DMI table contents in a human-readable format.  To verify processor architecture information type the following command as root:

[root@linux]# dmidecode --type processor

Processor can be substituted for other options such as: bios, system, baseboard, chassis, memory, cache, connector, or slot.  In the past, I've also used dmidecode (with the chassis option) to snag the serial number off of a remote machine to call in for a warranty repair.
