Solid Capacitor Motherboards Introduced 264
jckrbbt writes with news that Gigabyte has introduced solid capacitor motherboards in its Intel 945 chipset products. From the article: "[S]olid capacitors have a higher tolerance for higher temperatures and they also perform better with higher frequencies and higher current than electrolytic capacitors. The superior heat resistance and better electric conductivity will allow PC enthusiasts to tweak the highest levels of performance from their system without fear of excessive capacitor wear or exploding capacitors."

Actually, the intended buyer of this motherboard happens to be Gentoo users. The idea is to sell them a motherboard which will run after everything compiles on their system.
Note: I am a happy Gentoo user, above was only a joke.

Note to audiance. You can't "steal" ideas. Just "borrow" them. In this case formulas want to be free.
