Hi guys,
Found a AWE64 Gold for cheap with some missing parts (encircled on the attached image). Those look like SMB caps to me. Anyone know their values?
Thank you

They are inductors, part of analog rails filtering IIRC

As for value, I don't know them. You can short them out and the card will work, albeit at slightly worse performance, i.e there may be buzzing noises etc. from lack of the filtering the inductors would provide. More inductance is better however, so exactness isn't outright necessary.
