Hello. I have a mobo that is rare. It's a socket 423 VIA VL-33s (P4X266) board that--get this--takes PC2100 (DDR266) RAM and *not* rdram!
Thus, I have a P4 1.7ghz CPU and a stick of 512 PC2100 RAM.
Unfortunately, the 13 (all thirteen) 2200 uf 10v 105 degree caps are all leaking badly. It still runs fine though, and has never crashed!
I've recapped a couple arcade game monitor boards before no problem.
Questions: Should I bother trying to save this board? How much harder is it to recap a mobo vs a regular circiut board? Also which caps and from where are best to buy? I searched forums, but it was unclear. I can get 85 degree, but thoso are no good???
Thanks,
Loomis
