More Info

Socket 5 supports Pentium chips from 75 MHz to 133 MHz, MMX Pentiums will not work in this socket.

Wikipedia Entry

Socket 5 was created for the second generation of Intel Pentium processors operating at 75 MHz or higher. Consisting of 320 pins, this was the first socket to use a staggered pin grid array, or SPGA. This design allowed the chip's pins to be spaced closer together. It also introduced the ZIF design that allowed a chip to be dropped into the socket without force. A lever was used to lock the chip in place.
