Question about older Intel FX chipset

[JJSuperman]

I am piecing an older system together and the mobo I have is an Intel FX chipset running a Pentium 100mhz non-MMX. What processor might I be able to put in this to upgrade it somewhat. I would be happy with a pentium 200mhz if that will work. Thanks for the info.

socket5 fx mb takes up to 133,
socket7 fx mb takes up to 200.

Thanks for the reply. My mobo is socket seven so I guess it will support up to 200mhz. Would this mobo also support a MMX processor?

Does anyone know if the the FX chipset (triton) socket 7 will support a MMX cpu?

There's no easy way to tell w/o finding out from the mobo manufacturer. Who makes it? Model number? Anything?

FX doesn't support mmx, need HX or VX, or final TX.
For sure, check the mb spec.
