bzzt... socket 7's were around before mmx was... and dual voltages were
the same...  dual voltage cpu's came out (intel wise anyway) with mmx.
p133's and upwards were socket 7, downwards ... socket 5.  a socket 7
mobo without mmx is usually one which doesn't support dual voltages...
so mmx chips will blow up 'cause they need the dual voltage thing.

(and for the looser... we have this nice humbug tee shirt)
