I hope you're not trying to fit it into a "Yikes" with a PCI graphics slot.... Just make sure you are putting it in the AGP slot (the first slot, the one toward the center of the motherboard) and opening the AGP tab at the back of the slot (toward the center of the motherboard). Don't put too much pressure on the tab or it will snap off, it only needs to move a slight bit to let the card seat. I guess you must be familiar with it since you took the original card out? And be careful not to move the tape that is covering pins 3 & 11 or all you will see is a black screen or KP when you startup.
