    Creating an Excel Based BOM

    Is they anything special I need to do to create an Excel Based BOM for SW? Or is it as easy as adding in my catagories and saving the file (ie...Excel Based BOM.xls)?

    Did I get the wrong video card..?

    I just had a new Quadro FX 500 put in my dual cpu workstation. The only benifit Iam seeing right now is the rendering is a little faster. Other than that Iam not seeing a big quality jump. Should I have asked for the FX 1000 or 3000 instead? This card only has 128 mb on board.
