Uhm, 180MHz is nothing special, most V4's can reach this speed.

well with the original cooler i made only 175mhz.the most best vas 185mhz but the desktops was full with lines and all kinds of errors.but i made beteer oc with the geforce2.also voodoo's aren't good for OCing.i think

Depending the memory chip

[esters]

memory chip? voodoo 4 uses vsa-100 chip no other or you think about the quality of the chip?

[Nightbird]

According some people, OC can depend on the manufacturer of the ram your V5's got and how fast it is.

The memory and graphics chip are locked at the same speed on all Voodoo cards. If you overclock, you overclock bot the graphics chip and the memory. SO if you've got bad memory, you won't be able to overclock much.

the v4(agp) im using right now is at 195 stock cooling, been running this way for a month, i havent yet meet a v4 or 5 i cant o/c to at least 190, i read where ppl havent gotten over 180 but i find it hard to understand, is that just a few out of us all or what?

Except on the Banshee

my V4 PCI can run at 190MHz for hours of gaming...and i modded my cooling solution to heatpipe(no fan) + copper RAMsink for longer life of Voodoo4..
but if you use any kind of artifact tester, it will shows one or two dots..so i lower the clock speed to 180MHz for normal use

Please explain

On a banshee, the graphics clock and the memory clock can be different like 100MHz/110MHz or faster.
