Hi, Thanks Dave. Initially, it looks no different to me but after considering about all other parameters and I was a bit confused. Well, Steve is right, I might look into the basic model again. Thanks folks.

However, assuming that you have a plane under these components then adding in the parasitic capacitance of the components and their mounting pads to this plane shows a difference.. Obviously how much of an effect depends on the frequency content of the signal. The differences are easily visible on a TDR. In the first case you have Cp to ground then series C with another Cp to ground, then Cpr (Cp of the resistor) to ground then series R In the second case you have Cpr to ground, then series R another Cpr to ground, then Cp to ground, then series C.
