Consider the quadratic equation given by:
$$2x^2 - 8x + 6 = 0$$
To analyze the nature of the roots of this equation, determine the discriminant of the quadratic equation using the formula $$D = b^2 - 4ac$$ where $$a$$, $$b$$, and $$c$$ are the coefficients from the standard form $$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$$. Based on the value of the discriminant, classify the roots of the equation.
