LM317 is 1.5A.. if u dont exceed, it should work fine.. anyway, RM40, u earn quite a lot wor.. haha.. u might wanna consider active cooling as well for the LM317 cause it can get very hot when u load it @ around 1A..

QUOTE(lolhalol @ Nov 30 2007, 10:32 PM) does the LM1084 use the same circuitry design? just exchange the LM317.. works? same design, but different values of caps and resistors.. download the spec sheet of LM1084, there's application circuit inside..
