I'm gonna change the resistors on my retail Radeon 8500 128MB to get more core voltage and memory voltage. I haven't been able to find any correct smd resistors locally.

My question:

Shouldn't I be able to take a round 1/4 watt resistor and connect each end to the two solder points where the smd resistor currently resides and get the same results?
