I left out one of the major CPU config's below, Socket 8. These are proprietary and for Pentium PRO CPU's ONLY. They are kinda rectangle and HUGE compared to socket 7. I believe they were made in only 3 speeds; 150 (or maybe 160 or 166mhz), 180 and 200mhz. These were primarily for server app's when they came out, and they are rather old. They have 256k, 512k and 1mb L2 cache, which is what is good about them....1mb cache is A LOT. (No one ever requests these anymore or the boards is why I forgot :) -Clint
----- Original Message ----- From: "OrpheusComputing.com" Well, they're always labeled, at least all I've seen. Right off hand I don't know of any links, but going from memory: Square is socket 3, 4, 5 & 7 for Intel, Intel Pentium, and AMD K5 & K6 & K6-2, and the older socket 3 & 4's were mostly 286/386/486 CPU's from Intel, AMD and some other lesser know companies. There's certain CPU's for socket 7 for example (K6, K6-2, and Pentium 200 for example) and certain CPU's for socket 5 or 7 (some K5's, and slow Pentium CPU's like 66-100mhz), too much to type here about these types. If these are what you need to know about, then let me know I can go into more detail and more accurate detail. Newer "square" sockets are Socket A (aka Socket 462) AMD Athlon, Tbird, XP, Duron, etc. Newer other square sockets are socket 370 (aka PGA and FC-PGA) for Intel Pentium III and Celeron. The newest Intel square sockets are Pentium 4 and are socket 423 & socket 478. The older Intel SLOTS for CPU's are "Slot One" or Slot 1 and are for Pentium II, Pentium III (only a few slot 1 PIII's were made), and older Celeron. The other older AMD SLOTS for CPU's are "Slot A" and are for AMD "Classic" Athlon K7 CPU's and some Tbird's I think. The boards that uses slots will be labeled next to the slot, and the board that use the sockets will be labeled on the sockets themselves. -Clint Happy Holidays to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner Want to exchange links with us? http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: "Electronics" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> anyone know of a good page with pictures to identify (CPU) processor slots? any help greatly appreciated -Tony ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
