pentium 1 and amd k6-500 question

[alfietooch]

pentium one is socket 7 right? while amd k6-500 is supersocket 7... can a p1 133 cpu fit and work on a super socket 7... i heard some1 say this.. is this true? thanks...

 

[Adul]

yes

 

[AndyHui]

Yes

 

[alfietooch]

anything to edit in the bios?? thnks

 

[CTho9305]

the supersocket 7 mobos are just socket 7 mobos that have an AGP slot. (and maybe support 100mhz fsb?)

 

[AndyHui]

You would probably need to set jumpers for FSB, multiplier and voltage/CPU type.

Very few of the older motherboards are jumperless or autodetect like they are these days.

 

[Tanked]

Yes.

Supersocket 7 has 100 MHz FSB and AGP, and is completely backwards compatible.

As the others have said, yes it should fit and work fine. Socket-7 is Socket-7. There is no "supersocket 7" socket, although maybe some boards had Supersocket-7 as a name of some sort, since they were probably higher performing than traditional socket-7 boards (yet still used the same socket architecture).

Having said that, follow the advice that has been given. Just make sure the jumpers are set accordingly and you shouldn't have any problems. Good luck!

Edit: One other thing... Pentiums, before using Socket-7, were using Socket-5, were they not? Memory is a little foggy from that far back. I think you're safe with assuming the 133 is on 7 architecture though.

Socket 4 for Pentium/60 and Pentium/66.

Socket 5 for Pentium 75 to Pentium 133.

Socket 7 for Pentium 75 and up. Compatible with Pentium Classic 200MHz, Pentium MMX 233MHz, AMD K6-x, Cyrix 6x86, IDT Winchip, Centaur, Evergreen.

Super7 is the unofficial Socket 7 Standard with 100MHz FSB and AGP.

Living in the past, I see. Or, just have a much better memory than I do.

Pentiums came in socket 5 and socket 7.
Socket 5 was for the Pentium P54C, had 320 pins
Socket 7 was for the Pentium MMX, P55C, had 321 pins

K6-62s used Socket 7.

Before attempting to use a K62-500 in a Socket 7 board I'd check the voltages and multipliers.

Super Seven did not include an AGP slot in the spec.

Maybe not, but regardless most super socket 7 boards had AGP slots.

 

[DeschutesCore]

True, 80% or more of retail boards did, but it was not in the spec. A number of MSi, SPEC, Compaq, and HP machines used Super Seven boards without AGP of any kind. And that, in turn, is a lot of boards.

what he said. just make sure u set the jumpers for multiplier, fsb, and voltage.

The vanilla P54 Pentium came in Socket 7 format as well.

I'm almost positive that all SS7 boards have AGP - can you show me where it says otherwise? I realize many SS7 boards didn't have AGP slots, but they had integrated video connected through an AGP bus.
