bfg geforce fx5200 256mb pci

[kc8adu]

needed a good pci card for a box here(many high end server boards dont have agp)
dug this out of a junk box at the store.had 7 supacon blue/gold 1000@6.3 burst and leaking.
recapped it and it is working well.
if these manufacturers spent the money on quality components instead of funky heatsinks and such these boards would be ok.
i see way too many high end video cards with the bad cap plague.

Do you know if other BFG cards have thise supacon? I was thinking about putting 2 SLi'd BFG 6600GTs for builds. TIA

When I was at Wal-Mart one day, I looked at the caps on the BFG GeForce FX5500 PCI video cards and most of the them have Jamicon caps (reportedly good) and at least one with G-Luxon caps.
