Capacitors in the mobo?

[realport16]

Does it affect having lesser Capacitors in the Mobo the stability in overclocking. Like in Micro-ATX it has a fewer capacitors compared to the atx. Will the micro ATX factor changed the stability and performance like the A7V to A7V-M or the CUSL2 to CUSL2-M please advice.

it can, but it isn't something you generally look for when buying a motherboard. a board could have fewer caps, but they may be larger, better quality etc.

... and with voltage regulator technology improving, you need dramatically fewer capacitors to keep the voltage within the specified bracket.

There are 8 MHz voltage reg controllers out there, and you'd be really surprised to see how few capacitors are needed along with those for a smooth and stable output voltage.
