I have a socket 7 on the motherboard of my pentium pc. I am informed that a 266 MHz is the fastest cpu that can go in there. Is this correct? At present there is a 166 MHz cpu in the socket.I believe 233 was the fastest Pentium I and then Pentium II started at 233 and also included 266. Good table here:

ps: there are good certificate exams' samples (Microsoft, CISCO) on this site and they are free. Real like exams with good questions. You may want to try.I'm not sure how accurate that is. They show a PI to 166, but they did go at least to 233. I've got one.

They show a PII up to 500, but I've never heard of one more than 450.

The Pentium Pro shows as up to 266, but I am unaware of one faster than 200. The 512K L2 cache was not present on all, as mentioned. Some came with 256, and some with 512.


As an aside they show the 386 up to 33 Mhz, but that was when AMD made my day by producing a 386-40.

I hope all of their info is not this inaccurate.
Now I understand why I got dumped because of the answers gave I , based on that site...I thought I was right.

Also many of my exams answers are ALWAYS wrong...Their fault PROBABLY too... This table is better: http://www.geek.com/procspec/procspec.htm
