The K6 was compatible with Socket 7 boards, which some of the P5 family used. Early versions of the P5 ran on Socket 4 and Socket 5.
Here's an article with decent information on the P5. Including path widths. http://www.bdti.com/procsum/p5.htm Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_microprocessors#32-bit_processors:_The_Pentium_.28.22I.22.29 Pentium Processor Reference Table http://www4.tomshardware.com/cpu/19960714/index.html Lists bus speeds for several models and steppings for the P5 family. But no data path width, unfortunately.
