Missing SMD resistor on a Voodoo 2 card

Had problems with a Voodoo 2 card and found out that a SMD resistor capacitor is missing (hope that is the only problem 🙁). It's labeled as C68 on the board and is located on the back of the card (see picture). Anyone knows which value this resistor capacitor should have?

Used the image uploaded by @mario990 from this topic Re: What are some common failure modes for defective Voodoo2 cards? btw as it's got the same layout as my card and has the resistor capacitor installed. I hope that's not a problem.

A 'C' on the solder mask indicates this is a capacitor, not a resistor.
Checking for C68 on the Creative card with similar (identical?) layout in Voodoo2 component map + schematics it appears to be a 100nF 25V X7R ceramic in 0603 package size.

Edited to refer to the right card layout.

Thanks! It shows how little I know about SMD's. 😀 Will change the topic.

You're welcome and it's perfectly fine not to know all the details, especially when you're just starting out. 👌😉
Good luck with the repair!✊
