I found out the other day that the Mega's voltage regulator only out's about 800mA... Is there a reason I shouldn't switch this voltage reg with something like the LM323T, which out's 3A (by switch I mean in the schematic while designing my own knock-off)? Would this fry the atmega or just add some …

Swapping the voltage regulator on the arduino?
