I think they call the closed thing at the end of the agp slot a lock
but I can see no way to unlock it to insert the card. MSI seems too
dumb to answer my numerous inquiries about it and it has no references
to it in the manual.

I think I know what kind of lock it is. I have a Biostar
NF4UL-A9 mainboard that has a PCI-E 16x, and an AGP slot (aka XGP).
When I first got it, I didn't have my 7600GT yet, and had to use an
old GF4 Ti4400 AGP card. When I went to install it, I found that the
slot was too small, and there was no lever like other AGP 4x, and 8x
slots had. After staring at it for several minutes like a
"neanderthal", I noticed the slot looked like it was inside a sliding
box. I pulled fowards on it (towards front of case), and it did slide
forward opening the slot up.
Go to the link of my mainboard, and click to enlarge the
image, and look at the white slot next to the 3 blue PCI slots. Does
it look like your AGP slot?

I have that mainboard.

At the inner end of the AGP slot, you can see a litle white thing,
that probably pivots to and away from the slot. I think it works
like a system/RAM memory module holder on that one end. Before
inserting the card, gently push/pivot that litle white thing away
from the rest of the slot (looking down at the pic, that is
rightwards). Then you just stick the card into the slot and that
clip grabs onto the card just like a system/RAM memory module clip.
If now you understand how it is supposed to work, but your card wont
fit, I guess you are out of luck. In that case, I would remove the
obstruction and, if necessary, use hot melt glue to keep the card
from vibrating loose.
Good luck.
Looks close to mine but mine has no lever. It looks like alll the
pci slots only a different color.
So, in fact you don't know what mainboard you have.
I included a picture that looks like mine. As you can see it has no
lever and seems to be a solid piece. I am refering to the left side
of the slot in the picture.
according to the link you provided, That's not a normal AGP connector at
all. It's what Biostar calls, an XGP port.
. Additional Info:
Xtreme Graphics Port is Biostar's unique engineering solution of adding
limited AGP graphics card support to the nForce4 chipset. The XGP slot is
not compatible with all AGP cards but has been tested with AGP cards listed
below.
Looking at the list shown, the ATI x800xl is not listed.

I have a picture of a slot that looks the same as mine but I can not
post pictures on this newsgroup. As far as your picture it does not
look too much like mine since mine seems to be a solid piece on the
end as I can see no breaks. Is it safe to cut through it. Maybe the
lock lever is broken off but this is a new board.
