See, people keeping telling me this, but I can't get much better than
70ms.  This is really the fault of my damn 675?  It was either a 675 or
a PCI card, so I went for the 675.

Mine used to overheat itself, and die, about once a week.  Seems to be
all better now, but I didn't change anything.

Erm, so how do I find out what will work on my line, and how much is it
going to cost me to upgrade?  Assuming that I find a new one, anybody
want to buy this 675 (2 years old, give or take).
