Just out of interest was yours a Sapphire branded 9800 Pro? The fan died in mine and the only bad behaviour it exhibited was that it overheated in games (Half-Life 2 and Unreal 2 were the big killers), for anything else it was perfectly usable in that crippled state.

It might've been, I still have it somewhere probably.

To this day it is still the hottest piece of hardware I've ever owned. I swear you could cook on that card. It definitely didn't help that the fan died, and it melted itself into a broken state not long after I suppose.
