Are the socket 5 and socket 7(non MMX)boards compatible for the pentium 2nd
generation processors, and K5 and Cyrix M1? IOW, can I
use a p120(2x multiplier) in a socket 5 board? I tried a Cyrix 686 P120+
in a socket 5 and 50MHZ fsb and at boot up it reported on screen as a
pentium 16MZ! It started getting pretty hot so I shut it down. I
understand that the socket 7 have better voltage regulation, and I think an
extra pin on processor? what other differences?
Thanks,
Edna Sloan
