VPS'es are also limited by cores. So try this too:
Code: 
cat /proc/cpuinfo

If the number of cores that's returned does not match what it should be (For example 8 cores for an i7) then you're on a VPS.
 
its linux, and i dont understand anything of thise codec u give can u please help me?

this is what i buy: linux Core I7 920 4x 2.67Ghz 500 GB 8 GB 4000 GB

Hello,

You can try to test this :

Code: 
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep siblings

If you get anything as output like ->
Code: 
siblings        : 4
siblings        : 4
siblings        : 4
siblings        : 4

You have got a dedicated server. But if you don't get any output you have a VPS.

Best regards

so did i got a real dedi? or a vps? or semi? also does it has 8 processors?
 
in whm i see:

Processor Information Total processors: 8 Processor #1VendorGenuineIntel
NameIntel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz Speed2668.000 MHz Cache8192 KB

so what is it? a full dedi or semi?
 
i think this VPS. If you want to check then try to install cpanel. You will see in there. This the best how to know. If you're in VPS then you will get VPS optimized in cpanel. But if you're in dedicated you will see cpanel accelerated
 
and for your output for this cat /proc/cpuinfo

this mean this totally VPS not in dedicated. I have same spec with you i7-920 and you must have processor : 0 - 7 but yours only 0 - 1

Better you ask your hoster, what he said. if he said this dedicated server, then he lie. and better don't buy from them.
 
is this really a vps and not dedi?, can someone give me a code i can type in ssh and put the outcome here? how to see its dedi?
 
cat /proc/vz/veinfo
Output : 101 0 137 XX.XX.XX.XX XX.XX.XX.XX

if there is output then u are on openVZ/virtuozzo VPS

if no output then you are on a Dedicated Server

btw: never tried Xen
