    [SOLVED] adding electronic components

    on a motherboard, its typical to find left out spots for capacitors, transistors, resistors and so forth. what would happen if somebody went out their way to solder these components back on. and would it be possible to maybe upgrade the existing components like the capacitors to more durable ones?
