Yes I know. I tried 53.04 because 45.23 was not working with the FX 5200, but now I know it was because of the graphics card itself. I'll revert to those once every cap is replaced and I reinstall everything from scratch. In Windows 2000 I might keep then 53.04 because they include WDM drivers for video capture, and I'd like to play around with that.
For now all I could find locally were electrolytic caps, probably not even a known brand, but they're cheap as hell, less than 5 euros for 14 caps for both cards (2 extra caps just in case). I'm not going to replace the Sanyo cap for now since it's the only branded one. I'll start with the FX 5200 over the weekend and if everything goes well, I'll do the same to the FX 5600. I'm still interested in comparing them with some games' benchmarks, just like Phil usually does 😉
