Various processor sockets, anyone know a place that lists...

Anyone know a place that lists the various processor sockets & what processor will work in each one?

 

I have a few socket 7 motherboards here & I'm not sure what chips will work in it, I also have a socket 462 board. Again, same dilemma.

 

As always, thanks for your time folks.

The best way is to search the manufacturers page for a cpu compatibility list.

Maybe the chipset supports a certain cpu but it doesn't mean that a mobo with this chipset will support it.

 

BTW socket 7 comes in different flavors.

 

You have to look at the chipset. i430vx, mvp3 (suports amdk6 processors)...
