If so, you should probably pursue this failure with Abit, since I'd
expect that the mobo manufacturers casre enough about their
reputations that they will scurry to make things right with the
victims of this problem (they were doing a lot of spin control at the
time the news broke). I know my son, who had a mobo with the bad-cap
problem, got a quick replacement -- not for free, but for cheap --
from their local office. At the moment, I cannot recall if his was an
Abit or not.

Ray:

I am afraid the swollen caps are my own doing.  I ran the BH6 with a
slot-t adapter and people report that there is a real danger of this
happening. Well, the board is fine and works (don't know for how
long), but my poor TV-tuner doesn't like it one bit.

Also, people that pursued the motherboard replacement as you
suggested
were denied by Abit, they would only repair out of waranty mobo for
money.

Anyway, now I am looking at either trying to repair the caps and
coil,
or to replace the motherboard with one that has Tualatin support. 

Any suggestions for such a board? it seems to me that is a dead end
as
far as upgrading it in the future. On the other hand it is the most
budget-oriented solution for now.  

So, I am trying to decide if I should attempt a repair, or change the
mobo, and if I change it, with what.

Any ideas are appreciated.
