The chart is available online in HTML format: 586PIN2.HTM. Be aware that it is a large chart and may take a few seconds to load.

The chips included are:

Only Socket 5 and Socket 7 compatible chips are listed. No 486 processors are here. Neither are the Socket 4 Pentium 60 and 66 nor their Pentium OverDrive processors (120 and 133MHz - P5T). The Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Celeron, and Xeon also have their own unique connection to the motherboard, and so are not listed.
