First, thanks for the reply Bob and other, interesting that the Rel RT's were the best small bypasses you found for power supplies.

Second, a warning about heat. I knew that they were heat sensitive, and tried to solder quickly, and I still shorted one out. It was not shorted when I first installed it either, but when I put the board back in my CDP, nothing.

Checked it out today, and found a shorted cap. This time, I put a clip on the leads to heatsink it while I was soldering.
