Well, after running the UPS truck down, I finally received my Radeon 8500

Works fine except for a few glitches. There always seems to be glitches! When I run a 3d app. such as 3d mark there are black spot (more like little rectangles) that keep on flickering in and out. They seem to be confined to a horizontal line around the 2/3 way up my screen. Also, the animations seem quite jerky at times, as if the card got caught on something and then jumped back to wherever it was supposed to be rendering. The HDD isn't working and I have plenty of RAM (512MB). Could it be that the chip is overheating? I didn't even do anything to it yet!
