I got an Voodoo 5 5500 video adapter that has missing capacitors due to bad handling. Can any one tell me values for Capacitors C515 and C562?

I don't know for sure, but I bet if you asked this on a 3dfx site someone might be able to help.

Just unsolder any cap near and measure it. Think it's about 0.1uf

Caps have a tolerance range (10-20%) and the meter could too. Then there is aging caps, I know caps like that do better, but you never know.

Measuring capacitors in-circuit just doesn't work generally, gotta take em out first.

I could guess C562 as it is in the, visially, same group as C508, but I still do not know the value of C515,
