right after posting I found one...

does anybody know if it is possible to tweak a powermac motherboard to take (much cheaper and easier to get) 3.3V instead of the 5V DIMMs?

pinouts are all the same. I know that they don´t fit physically because the small holes are in different positions but that is not the problem. you can easiely wide them so that they would fit.

my intention is that I can do same trace routing on the motherboard to find out where the power for the RAM slots come from and then feed a 3.3V supply instead of the 5V in there.

Is it that easy?

Thoughts please...
