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.
 
Regards,
kenghua

If that was all there was to it then there would be no difference. 
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.

Regards
Dave
