Hello, Scott.  I overheard you talking with Matt about - -

 MM> If that Soyo has 11 bad ones, I bet they are the ones lined up behind
 MM> the CPU, in which case, "size _is_ important"!   :-))

 SJ> Got it in one.  They're clustered around the CPU and power supply
 SJ> connector.  Soyo M7VKD.  Like I said, this thing was free.  Plus I got
 SJ> a 1GHz Athlon, 768MB of RAM, a NIC and an extra video card along with
 SJ> it.

Please post later and tell how the job turned out.  Reason I ask - where
I volunteer we have had donations of some of these newer boards which
have problems.  At least one Athlon board has a number of the
"self-indicator" bad caps on it.  We don't have anyone there willing
to take on such a repair attempt, but I might be able to offer to pass
a few board(s) along to someone willing to give them a try.
