Jabil Kadoka rev. 4 AMD 750 Problem

Yeah, I know I know... old and crappy board.
My GeForce Ti 4200 isn't getting 3.3v stable. Asus smart doc says
~3.0v, which is bad. I can't start Asus Digital VCR, and there is a
yellow exclamation point next to the "nVidia WDM Video Capture
(universal)" in device manager. Upon scavenging through several message
boards, I have come to the conclusion that the linear voltage regulator
is to blame. Apparently, they are not very reliable. I have also read
about a mod on a German website for directly wiring the +3.3v lead to
the regulator, thus providing sufficient power to the AGP slot and also
another guy modding his PSU (!!) to up the +3.3v lead to get rid of the
yellow exclamation. I don't want to mod my PSU b/c it's an Antec
TruePower 380W (The most reliable PSU's, from what I know) or replace
my mobo b/c spending any more $ to change it out is just pointless to
me. If someone has successfully modded and/or got their Jabil Kadoka
rev. 4 AMD 750 board to comply (and maybe got it to get out of the
"stuck" AGP 1x mode), please let me know

The WDM driver not installing I've had with a number of nVidia VIVO
boards. I usually got around it by installing and uninstalling
newer/older WDM drivers. A yellow exclaimation mark in device manager
and Video In not working is what you normally get when this happens.
'tis a driver issue.

It would be to blame... if you can trust the readings from Asus SmartDoc.
Probe the appropriate AGP pin with a good multimeter and measure directly.
