(and that might be tricky)... You can also do this with the PII, reportedly up to 83Mhz bus speed on the Asus Mobo. But you also don't need to do this with the P6/180 as we've already established that it overclocks just fine and isn't a part likely to ever be affected by this practice of Intel's since they'll just phase the part out before it ever becomes economical enough to hobble the higher speed parts to 180Mhz.
