I'm not entirely convinced that they're "bad".
The bubbled up ones are close to the processor
and that's where lots of heat is generated. It might
be that they're under pressure for the temperature.

Anyway, this motherboard is slowly aging and a burned-up
cpu/MB  might give me a reason to upgrade.

I'm hoping it would hold up for a year until Hammer
CPU's become available (64 bit athlons).
