The 6800 has a lovely vga cooler on it and I'm sure you're fine. Has this warning presented itself more than once? Also, do you have fair cooling/ventilation in your computer?

When evolution selects its agents, it does so at a cost, makes demands in exchange for singularity, and you may be asked to do something against your very nature. This force, evolution, is not sentimental. Like the Earth itself, it knows only the hard facts of life's struggle with death. All you can do is hope and trust that when you have served its needs faithfully, there may still remain some glimmer of the life you once knew.
