I think what you're seeing on the schematic is actually the 3.3V regulator that's necessary to power the micro SD card. That is included on the module-- you just give the module 5VDC in and it should be happy. (The Gamer Baseboard uses a Sparkfun 5V DC power adapter to power the module.)<br>
If you're reading the Uzebox forums, there were earlier versions that <em>did</em> have a 3.3V input, but there were a couple chips that wouldn't run full speed at 3.3V, so I changed it to 5V to be safe.<br>
Hope you have fun with it!</p>

I really don't want to blow up my new $60 toy and I also don't want to be frustrated trying to figure out a problem that is due to too low of a power supply voltage.<br>
Could you tell me which is correct?</p>

Thank you spark fun!</p>
