Try decipher it yourself - hint: take a look at the specs you used for your CPU/RAM and Model/Manufacturer.

Go to the dell site. They have an app that will run on your system to determine what is installed.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

"PRC,A64,3500,2.2,512,1C,62W,F2"

PRC = processor (aka CPU)
A64 = Athlon 64
3500 = CPU model number (3500+)
2.2 = CPU speed (2.2GHz)
512 = L2 cache size (512k)
1C = number of cores (1 = single core)
62W = CPU wattage
F2 = CPU stepping

In other words, you have this: http://products.amd.com/en-us/Deskt...

Just out of curiosity, where are you seeing that line of identification?
