White spirits and cotten buds do a great job, the white spirits dries up at low temps and really takes it off. But becareful when going around resiters as the paste can bridge them. So make sure you remove all of it.

I use (basic and cheap) Nail Polish remover. The Acetone in it is excellent at removing pretty much everything. It also evaporates quite quickly (which is handy).

I have been warned by more careful people that it would also disolve the internals of capacitors if I were to spill it on the mobo. But Id never spill that much... :rolleyes:
