Do you know the type of motherboard? And is this a general purpose application, or very specific for your server-farm? – TJHeuvel Aug 11 '11 at 11:07

1@Massimiliano Peluso, I have this covered, but I need to know the Sockets on the motherboard and possible to use, not how many installed already! – Data-Base Aug 11 '11 at 11:31

You should dig into WMI. Where is plenty of articles how to access and use WMI from .net. The only problem is to find right data table.
As it seems this is not an easy (if possible) task to get this kind of information. Most certanly you can't get number of sockets if no CPU installed in all of the sockets. See this note on subject.

Seems like @Massimiliano in comments even found exact duplice of what you want. – Petr Abdulin Aug 11 '11 at 11:12

1Different question. This is a question (I think) about # of sockets on the motherboard, not what CPUs (& cores) are installed. – Joe Aug 11 '11 at 11:13

same as Joe said, I need to know if the server has 2 sockets and only one CPU was installed! – Data-Base Aug 11 '11 at 11:28
