No I have not installed the 3.3 v regulator. I was hoping that by removing the pci board it would not need it at first. Obviously the board demands it anyway. I noticed on your site that the 6500 that was G3 accelerated had the power supply from the 630 as a back up for the extra power required for the G3 and VooDoo(?) card. Is it possible that this required for the 6400. Also is SCSI termination a problem since most IDE boards do not have it built in?
