You are correct BTW about socket 7 and it being backwards compatible with socket 5. OTOH I am pretty certain Socket 7 is NOT forward compatible with Super 7 (K6-2).

PM sent!:)

Yes it does. Mechanically it will fit. However. bus speeds determine the speeds of the cpu. I have a K6-III 550mhz. you need a motherboard capable of 100mhz FSB to use its full potential.
Actually it is one of the best cpus i have had in my computers.
(taking into consideration, time and the os it ran.. Win98se)

I have some old 233 pentiums... both socket 7 and slot 1.
(i still play around with my PIII (tulatin) 1400... :D)
I think i have some K6-2 as well...
I am going home this summer for some short vacation.
I will try to look trough my old stuff... If i find one of them I'll ship it to you.
