I had this old Dell Inspiron 3500 laptop mobo that I used the oven heat trick on. I wasn't sure if the caps could handle the heat and sure enough they couldn't.

I've found some replacement Nichicon caps to get from the links posted in the faqs but I'm not sure what ones I need for my vid card. There are so many options, lead and lead free, low impedence, compliant, blah blah. It's giving me a headache. The ones on the card are silver in color, approx 7x12mm, and have the markings 470 10v R1 with a cross scored on the top for exploding. How am I supposed to know what kind I need(in regards to the varieties of lead/compliant/low imedence)? Any help...
