Do you guys know of anyway to identify Socekt 4 and 5 Pentium PC? Maybe by the sticker?

There is a location here that is willing to stick Pentium machines aside for me but I dont know how to explain to them how to tell the difference between a Socket 4 or 5 and the standard Socket 7. They dont have time to pop the heatsink off of each one so identifying by the case would be the best.

The first socket 4 PC i got had a red Intel Inside sticker, but i don't know if this sticker is only for socket 4 computers.

The only thing I know that does it is a set of the magic x-ray specs you see on the back of breakfast cereal boxes and comics.

Perhaps they could identify them by the size of the CPU. THe socket 4 is noticably bigger than socket 5 and this should be visible without removing the heatsink in most cases. Also, some socket 4 motherboards did not have a ZIF socket, which I don't think socket 5 ever had.
