A bit of history: When I was younger and foolish (let's say, six months ago), an old GeForce FX 5500 came into my possession. This thing had polymer caps (vents open), and smaller standard caps. I removed them, but I was ignorant of the important difference between polymer and standard caps. The old polymers said "6.3v 1000", and I used 6.3v 1000uF standard caps. Of course, the board refused to work, and I removed all the caps, including the small ones. Now I have found that board again, and I want to give it a shot, but I don't know which caps must go on this thing (I remember the 6.3v 1000 from the old polys, but the small ones... no clue). I have found a picture of the card, a perfect layout match, but I can't get the values from the caps. If anyone happens to have/found/seen this particular board and can write the cap values, please do. It will help me a lot. Thanks in advance.
