Perhaps the most important tip is for you to get TWO soldering irons. Simple pencil

irons will work, and they're really cheap. Like $10 or $15. If you don't use two soldering irons at the same time, then I can pretty much guarantee you'll tear off one of the little pads under the capacitor.

I lost three motherboards to that problem before it donned on me to use two soldering irons (duh!)
