Hello

I'm 'trying' to upgrade the video on my daughters Pentium 3 Compaq Desktop
EN. The present videon is onbard.

The Mobo has an AGP slot. Inside that is a small card and that is held in
place by a very robust green plastic retaining device that holds the 'small
card' in place. I was hoping that the small card would simply 'pop out' and
in goes the new video card ... but no such luck!

I don't want to force the plastic retainer as I may damage the MoBo.

Can someone please tell me how I remover the retainer and the 'small card' ?

TIA ... Mick
