My quicksilver had an agp spring lock which latches into the
corresponding hooked piece on the card - the hooked bit with no pins. You
will need to put pressure on the plastic spring to free the card and slide
it out. When you put the new card in the spring lock will click into place
and hold it firmly in place.....mine has now snapped off due to my being
heavy handed with it - I don't miss it though.....
