Err, absolutely nothing so far. Originally the P150 and 166 were going to be 
lower voltage and hence used the VRM socket to reduce the voltage. Instead 
they switched to 0.35 micron fabrication process and kept the voltage at 3.3v. 
The P180 and P200 may yet use it. 

N.B. The Endeavour was then re-released as the Advanced Endeavour with a 
Socekt 7.
