    I guess I stand corrected on the Solid State def.
    They are calling the solid capacitor boards all solid.
    We've come a long ways.

        To me also, "solid state" means transistors instead of vacuum tubes.

          Again it's just semantics.
          I saw a cool display In the IBM main facility (building 300) reception room.
          It was a long wall depicting the evolution of their logic circuitry.
          Started with a messy looking single tube single bit module, and progressed up
          window by window in about 2 to 4 year leaps to present day. (which was 1986,year of the project I was on)
          The last window was apropriately a question mark.

            Figures... It's for an Intel board...
            Ya'll think us folk from the country's real funny-like, dontcha?

                My thought exactly! Now, when'll there be an AM2 version?
                You know there's something wrong when you open up a PSU and are glad to find Teapos.
                Why I don't buy cheap cases!

                    AM2 is like socket 423-->478... I tell everyone to wait for AM3...

                    There is no reason why mainstream boards, (just cheap ass ones) should not have newer components, VRM's etc....

                      Yeah MD, that's true, but so was 754, and the enthusiast market's not abandoned that entirely. That's mainly because of Semprons though.

                        Actually, I've seen some S754 mini-itx boards coming out so it may stick around for a while now.

                          nothing compares to tubes. where the hell they store the electrolyte ?

                            So the only advantage here is longivity, right? AFAIK, these solids and hybrid electrolytics have a higher ESR when compared to the traditional 'lytics, or is this wrong?
