Which Slot/socket is Which?

Please don't hurt. I'm not actually a newbie, just someone who doesn't have enough scratch to build his own box yet.
I went over to www.motherboards.org to try out their motherboard selector. I ran into a slight problem. I've heard of Socket A, Slot 1, Socket 370, ad infinitum, but I really haven't seen any place that says what chip goes with which set of holes. And then MB.ORG lists a ton more. In addition to the above, they have Slot 2, Slot 1 Socket 8, Slot A, Sockets 3, 370, 423, 5, 7, 8, GXm, and Media GXa. So, what's what, and who's who?

Like he said. But he did not mention the older sockets:

Socket 8-Pentium Pro (the earliest version of the PII)
Socket 7-Pentium MMX, AMD K6, K6-2, Cyrix MII/686
Socket 5-Pentium (non-MMX), AMD K5, Cyrix early PR series
Socket 4-Early Pentium (60 and 66MHz)
Socket 3-486, AMD 5x86 PR75-133

Also, the Slot A was used mostly with the early Athlon with off-die cache.
