Socket 7 Motherboard Needed

[CJBoo]

I have recently purchased an Intel 733 Socket 7 256k 133 CPU
I am having some difficulty finding a motherboard that will support a 7 multiplier
This does appear to be a tweaking and overclocking project in the making.
Since the Socket 7 technology seems a bit old (from my research) the supporting of 133 FSB and 733 Mhz seems odd since no mobo I've found thus far goes beyond 5.5
Any direction or suggestions appreciated. Thanks

as far as i know the fastest socket 7 processor was the amd K6-3 500 or 550? im sure what you have is a fc-pga(socket 370) or slot one processor.

That's a P III chip there. Socket 370 FC-PGA Coppermine. Totally unrelated to the Socket 7 of days gone by. You need a S370 board, or a Slot 1 board with a slocket adapter card to run that chip.
