A Socket 7 can support a P-75 to P-200. I have a old single voltage socket
seven Tyan Tomcat  that supports this range and it was not uncommon to
single voltage socket seven boards. I  wrote that I < guessed > he had a
Socket Seven and he may in fact have one. But If he does have a older
Socket 5 he is not limited to a P 90. A Socket 5 can support P 75 to P133
depending on the motherboard. There are also Evergreen and Kingston
overdrive chips available for Socket 5.
