I've never actually encountered one of these in real life, but I've been looking at them on Ebay. So has anyone tried this combination? Am5x86 and Socket four?

Socket 4 is just Pentium 60/66.... It's the original Pentium socket. No 486s allowed. 😀

You use Socket 3 for them. Socket 4 is reserved for microwaves.
