    I bought a 8600GT today and when it comes i am going to want to install it. The only thing is that there is a clip there. It looks hard to pull the card out. Any tips so i don't break something. This is my board

    thanks

    most people don't notice the clip there...but since u did notice it, you shouln't have any problem...just dont force it too much, but sometimes it can be a little tight in there.

    I've broken a clip on an AGP card (forgot it was there) when removeing a card. The clip is there to hold it in place.

    Like the SmokingGun said its good you noticed them before hand. You just bend them to the side to get the card out. Going in it should slide itself out of the way when the card gets seated in its slot.
