Sam,

Why don't you take it out, hit it with a hammer to make sure it's
broken*, then go out and buy yourself that nice 8600, or better still an
8800?

:)

Seriously, having had an 6800 that sounded like a hovercraft at close
range, I can say my 8800 runs cool, quiet and really fast. I have just
returned from a session on the other OS playing Bioshock with all the
bells and whistles enabled. What a great game! More than the odd nod to
Lost and lots of great gameplay and surprises.

* actually, you might be able to get a few quid for it, so prolly not
the best way to justify an upgrade
