3300uf 6.3v in place of 2200uf 6.3v?

Working on a Dell Dimension 4700 here and see that one of the caps is starting to expand. The rest look fine so far, and I don't think any of the problems with it are because of this cap YET, but wondering if this is too far to budge with a replacement?

I wouldn't re-cap the whole board at this point. *I* know there will probably be issues in the future, but that doesn't mean the client agrees enough to care.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
