View source for Gigabyte GA-6BXC

Slot 1 mainboard from Gigabyte with 440BX chipset.
==Voodoo 3 compatibility==
Revisions lower than 2.0 of this board can't supply enough power for some graphics cards such as the Voodoo 3.
The 3.3 V voltage regulator near the AGP slot will eventually fail. Newer revisions apparently have a "Voodoo fix" jumper which connects the AGP slot directly to the ATX power supplies' 3.3 V rail.
===AGP 3.3V to ATX power connector mod===
Only required on revisions older than rev2.0. The mod instructions were initially published for many affected mainboards by nickles.de in [https://www.nickles.de/artikel/html/30.htm this article].
Unfortunately, when following nickles.de's instructions for the GA-6BXC, the system will no longer boot. As was pointed out in the nickles.de comments, this is due to the picture instructing to run a wire from the ATX +3.3 V connectors to the wrong voltage regulator (1.5 V). This can easily be corrected by running the wire to the correct voltage regulator instead.
When performing this mod, I would recommend to always check the voltage regulator against mass with a multimeter.
