Socket 4 is the origional Pentium socket, used for P60 and P66 processors.
I believe these processors were 5v parts at release. Socket 5 processors
started the move towards lower voltage processors.

The overdrive chip you have will be a later Pentium adapted to run in the
old Socket 4 sockets. It probably also has a voltage regulator just under
the heatsink?
