I have a motherboard that has 4 capacitors bulging. Its a socket A board w/ SDRAM slots, and AGP.. probably 100mhz chipset.

Is it worth it to replace the 4 caps? Are they expensive? Is there a tutorial online somewhere?
 
The caps are about $1-$2 each.
It's fairly simple if you have any soldering experience.
I've done several boards and all have worked just fine afterwards.

You may want to replace all the caps of that size regardless of whether they are bulging or not. They'll most likely start bulging later.
