I have a Asus mb (with AGP 8X), and I am trying to install a Radeon 9520.

There is currently not enough room for the card. There is a white tab on the
right side of the slot; the maunal doesn't mention what to do.

From what I gather, this is a lock for the card.
So, do I push the tab to the right, fit the card, then push back to the
left?

Thanks,
QZ

If it means you can fit the card, yes.

You have to snap it off with pliers.

For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down
in words with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived
it. There is, however, a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy which
are not thoughts, and to which as yet I have found it absolutely
impossible to adapt to language. These fancies arise in the soul, alas
how rarely. Only at epochs of most intense tranquillity, when the
bodily and mental health are in perfection. And at those weird points
of time, where the confines of the waking world blend with the world of
dreams. And so I captured this fancy, where all that we see, or seem,
is but a dream within a dream.

No, it doesn't help, I think you are trying to make me destroy the
mainboard. If it needed to be removed, it would have said it in the manual.

It simply has been moved to the right, and now the card should fit.

Are you certain you don't need to attack it with a hammer and chisel?

Mother board manual holds the answer

That button, pin, or tab or whatever you call it "usually" is tapered so
that when inserting it, it will slide past it & then snap into locking
position. I must admit that I usually hold it "out" when inserting the card.
To remove the card then you MUST stop the pin engageing.
 
Yes it is a lock for the card, it slides forward, so you can insert the
card and it slides back to lock the card in place, i have got 1 too on my
Asus mainboard!
