can I put a cpu from socket 5 mb in a socket 7 mb?

[fishy101]

I have a pentium 133 cpu in socket 5 and I was wondering if I can put it in a socket 7 motherboard. I think I can, but I just want to make sure. Thanks.

No you can't. They call it socket 5 for a reason. Meaning its not socket 7?

Yes you can.

Socket 7 boards supports voltage/form factor/multipliers for All pentium 75-200 processors.

Sure you can. PC manufacturers have this thing about making sure everything is backward compatible.

As long as chip voltage is at or lower than 3.5V, it should be fine.
