While film capacitors do have lifespan issues compared to solid capacitors, they can last 10-20 years if operating at a relatively low temperature, i.e. sufficient case cooling w/ system in a temp controlled environment. One of my personal servers contains an 11 year old Abit BP6 dual Celery mobo: http://www.hardwarefreak.com/web/server_pics/gallery/ A couple of caps are mildly bulging but the system is rock solid, even under burnp6 load on each CPU for 10+ minutes. -- Stan
