Is p166mmx socket 7?

[farns]

Is socket 7 the predecessor to socket 1?

[GriffiN]

nope:

486 processor sockets: 1, 2, 3, 6
pentium & pentium pro processor sockets: 4, 5, 7, 8



/edit: oops, shouldn't answer questions in the morning - missed out half of what you were asking farns - heh

no more crack for griffin...
first socket was for 486.. it was big gay and blue.... then there was socket 3 for 486.. wasn't gay worked well, then socket 5 for pentium classic, and socket 7 for VRE P55C's and MMXs Pentiums (doensnt look any different to socket 5 to me).... then super socket 7 which had 100mhz bus (but still didn't look any different to socket 5) and socket 8 wen the realised the was no point in only using odd numbers.

actull super socket 7 came out after socket 8

really ? most oems use the good chips, the one in my old flatmates HP would do 233 @ default voltage, which was as high as his board supported




EDIT: do you mean predecessor to SLOT 1 ?

i haven't seen many classic P166s make it much past stock speed... MMXs are damn good tho. i had a P166MMX @ 250 once... didn't even break a sweat :p
