Your answer sort of implies that installing PP180 in a motherboard like
ASUS P6NP5 (which says "PP200") means it will be run at 200 (I may be
misreading your message, of course).  As a person to whom hardware is
a necessary evil, I freely admit I may be somewhat (I am trying to
flatter myself) ignorant in that respect, but I was hoping it is
possible to set the motherboard to work at 180.  Am I mistaken?
