I found this V3 3000 card. Theres no caps next the memory chips.

So what values of the missing caps. For testing, i gonna use eletorlitic caps (the solid ones only buying in online stores with expensive shiping rates)

Retro rig 1: Asus CUV4X, VIA c3 800, Voodoo Banshee (Diamond fusion) and SB32 ct3670.
Retro rig 2: Intel DX2 66, SB16 Ct1740 and Cirrus Logic VLB.

I once replaced one cap similar on a Voodoo 1. It was relatively easy, consider that was my 2-3 attempt at trying to solder a electrolytic surface mounted capacitor. I bought like 6 of them for 1 euro on a local shop, just to be sure 😀 .
I recommend you buy the exact type of capacitor, if it costs 3-4 euros more its no problem, money well spent.
Just make sure to clean your card with some alcohol using a toothbrush and use a lot of resin when soldering, you can clean it after with alcohol. Good luck
