subject: Mainboard-Bulging Caps

Hello, ALL.
Got this email from my friend.  I've interim written to him that AFAIK
those bulging top caps are likely a sign of impending death, but told
him I would ask here.  Please advise. And, what does cause those bulging
tops?

Jim,
I was swapping some memory around the boards in my office and found a couple
of boards with  bulging capacitors, but they appear to work fine. Am I about
ready to have problems with these or will they limp along fine for the
indefinite future? What causes the bulging anyway?
Bob

Thanks - - -  JimH.
