I didn't want to stick my neck out, as I don't get into PC mobo stuff any more, but it has been my understanding that Intel and AMD both have proprietary CPU socket standards.
As for your bad caps, that is typical. If a cap actually blows, you would know it from the mess. Typical failure mode is to see them swell up. It's not that common for them to burst, from what I have seen. Recapping is cheap and fairly easy. I have an iMac G5 on the bench right now that needs to be recapped. A couple hours of work along with $17 worth of caps and I'll have a working iMac G5 again...
