I've got a remote system where I think I need to replace the CPU fan.
in the output of dmidecode, I get...
Processor Information
Socket Designation: CPU 1
Type: Central Processor
Family: <OUT OF SPEC>
Manufacturer: Intel
ID: 47 0F 00 00 FF FB EB BF
Version: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.66GHz
Voltage: 1.4 V
External Clock: 133 MHz
Max Speed: 2666 MHz
Current Speed: 2666 MHz
is this enough to tell me what kind of fan I need to get? It's obvious
it's a Pentium IV.
What other command/what other command might I be able to run to parse in
order to get information so I get the right CPU fan?

A Pentium-D socket 775 cpu could have almost any sort of cooling solution on it from a passive heatsink with an external 120mm fan (typical Dell desktop configuration) to a passive heatsink with a row of hotswap fans (typical 1U/2U server configuration) to a stock intel heatsink/fan (could be any of a half dozen different configurations, replace the whole heatsink/fan assembly) to an aftermarket heatsink fan (whereupon I'd also suggest replacing the entire heatsink/fan assembly)
