Socket 5 supports the OVERDRIVE MMX 166 part.  You should be able
to use that.

Socket 7 supports the Overdrive MMX 200.  

The OverDrive(R) Processor Upgrade Guide at
http://www.intel.com/overdrive /upgrade/index.htm
contains a list of systems that are compatible and not compatible
with the OverDrive processors. If your system is not in the Upgrade
Guide.
Intel does not have sufficient information about your system to include
it.
If you want to pursue this on your own I encourage the following be done
before you buy:

1. Run the bios check at
http://www.intel.com/overdrive /upgrade/bios/index.htm and if failing
seek a bios update from the board manufacturer. Successfully passing
this test does not
guarantee that your system is upgradable with the Pentium(R) OverDrive
processor with MMX(TM) Technology.  It is only an indication that the
likelihood of
encountering a problem due to a BIOS incompatibility is low.  There may
be other
incompatibilities with the BIOS that cannot be detected through a
software program.

2. Follow the recommendations on the unbranded system upgrade guide at
http://www.intel.com/overdrive /upgrade/unbrand/index.htm

3. Confirm minimum Socket 7 specifications if applicable. Look at
http://www.intel.com/overdrive /upgrade/unbrand/socket5.htm

Im talking about a regular P166, Im not talking about a P166 OVERDRIVE. I want to know what socket a REGULAR P166 must have to be acceptable.

Which part of socket 5 did you not understand???

http://www.intel.com/overdrive /upgrade/unbrand/socket5.htm

Anything from 75 Mhz to 166 Mhz works with socket 5
Socket 4 is the old 60/66 Mhz original pentium.

200 Mhz Pentiums usually need Socket 7 because of DC current
limitations of early designs.
