Yes, the original question was which caps are BEST, but much of my

so.

Which, as usual, you didn't make at the beginning.

The Failed motherboards were, Dell.
Their "Lets buy cheap ****" almost put them out of business.
And that was almost 20 years ago.

It dont surprise me it was Dell. A friend had a Dell that was from the
early 2000s. It had XP on it. It was so frikkin slow I could literally
outtype it, using notepad. She asked me if there was something wrong
with it. I changed some settings and that did nothing. Since there was
nothing on the computer except a few free games, I formatted the hard
drive and reinstalled XP. Still slow.....

Heck, I had a much older and lower powered computer at the time that was
running Windows 98, which was 10X faster than that Dell.

A few years later I got an almost identical Dell computer given to me. I
installed XP on it and was shocked to find it was just as slow as the
friend's computer. I didn't even bother with it any further. I removed
the drives and sent the rest of it to the recycler....

Things may be different with Dell today, but I will never buy any Dell
computers, new or used, after that experience.

I strictly use all IBM/Lenovo computers. They last forever. I still have
one that works fine and is 20 years old. My newer ones I own are great
too.
