motherboard solid state capacitor quality??

Hello all:

i had my heart set on intel's x38 motherboard dx38bt because of my faith in the company's reputation of reliability and overall quality... but my perception changed...

recently, i was talking to a colleague about building my first system. he enlightened me about some facts that i did not know about the motherboard's hardware.
he pointed out that the dx38bt does not use ALL solid state capacitors, but some. apparently this was a drawback, so i went on to research....

to my understanding so far, the solid state capacitors are upgrades to the previous (non-solid-state???) capacitors; which improves the longevity, thermal properties, and storage capabilities vs the older ones

my question about solid state capacitors: is it really that much better? i mean, if it was, wouldn't it be more advertised by the manufacturers/distributors? does it make that much of a difference - or at all?

should i be looking for a mobo that has ALL solid state capacitors?

please enlighten me

these questions have led me to a GA-x38-d** mobo (still trying to see what the differences are between ds4 and dq6)
please comment on these mobos if you have any too


*notes:
some might argue that it does, while for some, its a matter of personal preference and how they're going to mod it
for example: the capacitors can be analogous to the blocks in car motors, in terms of material strength/quality/benefits...,
some cars come in cast iron block, while the same car, but in a different country where they put in different motors but in the same chassis (like 240sx in USA has iron block, while 240sx (called silvia in JAPAN) has aluminum block)... just looking at the block, the iron block has better compressive strength over the aluminum block, so the motor's capabilities are arguable.... some say it doesnt make a different as long as you mod it right.... again arguable

hmm.... didnt know this was this big of a deal...

so in other words, to save ur capacitors (in turn, ur motherboard), you should keep your system running real cool...

this still doesnt answer my question about, does it really matter if my motherboard is all solid state or just a few? more specifically, are there any better benefits to all solid state capacitors

sorry for the noobness

interesting points guys, thank you for your time and your responses..

i will look for all solid state capacitors for my motherboard

i am currently looking at ga-x38-ds4....

thanks guys!

True. But as long as "over time" means "some time after the useful life is over", who cares?

More importantly, solid caps reduce the rate of premature failures.
