Since most components these days are surface-mount and have the actual

Looking at the video card laying on the desk and assuming the components
labeled R634 etc are resistors, some are labeled, some aren't. And I had
to break out my loupe to make that determination. Of the ones that are
labeled, the markings are cryptic like E5A.


Some of the resistors are labeled, but most of the small components aren't
labled. As they are usually put on by machine by the roll it doesn't mater
like it used to.
Lots of them are too small to really label.
