I've just broken my 7800GT and I guess if it can be repaired. Can you take a look?

It's a 100 microFaradis 25V capacitor? Could I resolder it with a similar capacitor?

just resolder the same capacitor, or if you lost it, go to an electronics shop. they will have them.

Yes but it's a 100 microFaradis 25V capacitor as I said? (I have no idea about electronics). I have the same capacitor yet but it has the legs broken so I would prefer to resolder a new one.

Do you think it would boot without it? I've broken it "offline" and haven't plug it on yet (I don't really know what it does so I dont want to have all the card fryied :p )

Problem solved (seems). We have resoldered the same capacitor. By now it have passed a 3dmark loop.

With a broken capacitor it will run. But if the capacitor doesn't work problably the card can get unstable and could even get really broken, so be sure it works properly
