While I'm sure that VIA has something to do with the problem board it wasn't VIA that promised me that the memory would run at 333mhz on the original board yet that wasn't fixed until rev1 it was Asus that left us out in the cold. It wasn't VIA that kept my board from bios rev 3 to rev 15 before returning it. I don't know how it was VIA's fault that the Promise raid controller never worked but maybe it was their fault that firewire port never worked. --+-- Wayne D.

I suppose she could try using just one bank after all they're suppose to be able to handle the exchange rate. Good Luck. --+-- Wayne D. Johnson Ashland, OH, USA 44805 http://www.wavijo.com

As far as the Raid controller, I only had it programmed for Raid 1. Although I lost two Maxtor hard drives, I assumed it was heat related. If you think the Promise controller was flaky, what brand would you suggest for a PCI Raid card for Raid 1? Alden http://www.aldentrull.com/
Re: [H] Multuple currencies in finance program
That's only good if your pulling from one to the other. If she's maintaining both accounts you don't want to involve the exchange rate at all. Sounds like there needs to be a International version that maintains separate base currency data for each account rather than per application. Maybe a per user rather per machine install would let 2 versions of Quicken be loaded on the same PC thus coexist w/o interaction.

Re: [H] Multuple currencies in finance program
is it possible to set up multiple accounts in the program ? one for Canada and one for US . Just a thought. At 08:11 PM 2/18/2006, Brian Weeden Poked the stick with: My fiancee is Canadian with accounts in both Canada and America. She is trying to find a program to do financial stuff with like Money Quicken that can handle accounts in both. She started with Quicken 2006 because it said it handled multiple currencies but then found out it can only download info from American banks. So she grabbed the Canadian version of Quicken and found out it can only handle Canadian banks. Of course they both install using the same configs and stuff so when she installed both everything got fubard. So, long story short, anyone know of a finance program that will allow you to download info from accounts in multiple currencies? -- Brian -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- Life is a yo-yo, and mankind ties knots in the string.
[H] Media Center box
I am thinking about building a Media Center box one thing I am not clear on. MC is mostly a playback device,... correct? I know you can rip CDs, and encode video, on the fly for TV broadcast recording...that sort of thing. But it is primarily intended to be used to play back media...correct? If you are connecting them to a TV, then there is no monitor displaycorrect? The TV is the display? They are not intended to be used as a game center, or anything like that are they? I keep reading articles on how to build them, and they always seem to use pretty fast components, fast CPUs, video cards, 2GB of RAM, none of which is needed for a playback machine. Plus high end fast stuff is going to run hot and creating fan noise. I am planning on using a Semperon 64 3400, 1.5 GB of RAM, a basic large 72K GW drive, and a ATI AIW 9600 PRO none of which put out a lot of heat or noise Do I have the concept right here they are mostly playback devicesright?
