Thanks.

I think that would probably not work too well.
The standard is a 1.0f which has roughly 3 times the capacitance of
the .33 that you are suggesting.
And your voltage rating of 5.5 is a little higher than the norm 5v
that most use for this. Would probably work fine but not hold the data
for very long and unless you run the game every few days you may end
up losing settings. I would get the 1.0f 5v mem cap for this and save
yourself having to tear it out and replace it later...

The voltage rating on a cap specifies its *maximum* working voltage. So
having a cap rated at a higher voltage isn't a problem. (You can drive
your car at less than max speed just fine! :) )

That said, the 0.33f is a bit on the shallow side (IMHO), so I'd probably
skip it.
