It helps to have tech friends nearby.
I just met Martian for coffee, and he passed his 8600 GT on to me.

I dropped it in after failing to get the 8800 GT to take. I booted the system up and immediately noticed the artifacts were missing from the boot screens. Upon Windows loading, it searched for the driver, found it for the 8600 GT, and installed it. After rebooting, bam, back to high-res graphics.

I haven't tested any games out yet, but the OS is running normally once again.

Thanks, Martian!
