My desktop's motherboard only has 2 sockets, but your command gives:
[root@ab1-4-160 ~]# dmidecode | grep "Socket Designation"

Socket Designation: Not Specified
Socket Designation: Not Specified
Not really sure that's accurate enough :) (and yeah I only have 1 socket filled... I feel like less of a man)
