Socket 4 was released in 1993 and was used for the initial Pentium "P5" 60MHz and 66MHz processors. Intel also released two Pentium Overdrive CPUs based on "P54C", operating at 120MHz and 133MHz. There are no other CPU options for this socket. Usually Socket 4 motherboards have ISA and PCI slots, though some have VLB. Socket 4 motherboards use 72-pin SIMM FPM DRAM modules, fitted in pairs to match the 64-bit memory bus.
All Socket 4 motherboards were made as AT motherboards or as proprietary boards.
Chipsets
- Intel 430LX "Mercury"
Today: Socket 4 is an uncommon choice because of its poor CPU choices. The old chipsets used for it are also drawbacks.
