Hi again all,
I just got a new graphics card and i'm trying to remove my old one (9800GTX). I looked up tuts on youtube but my old card doesn't just slide out of the slot (the screw is removed, PCI 2.0). My motherboard is a asus P5Q, and a small bit of pladtic is sticking out of the slot. Do the slots have a release switch or button?
Graphics card?

)There should be some type of little lever on the end of the PCIe slot like shown on this mobo:
Or is that the bit of plastic you were talking about ...
other than that it should come out (maybe not easily ... always makes me nervous when i have tight fitting ram or cards ...)
