| The ad is a little misleading. As far as I know, ALL capacitors of that type are electrolytic. The difference is in the composition of the electrolyte. Standard aluminum electrolytics use a liquid electrolyte which is subject to evaporation and outgassing. There has been some experimentation with 'organic' or polymer-based electrolytes, but I had no idea it had gotten this far. Last I knew, these electrolytes were limited to surface-mount applications where space is a premium, because of their relatively high cost.
They also make the assertion that standard caps are rated at 85C while theirs are rated at 105C. While factually correct, it is also true that almost no main board (and certainly none of the reputable ones) uses 85C caps for the Vcore, Vagp, Vdimm, or Vcc regulators, AFAIK.
