How Do I Add An Expansion Card?
I want to add an expansion card (PCIe) to my Gateway DX4320. Inserting the card isn't the problem. How do I remove the metal piece to open up the slot? It looks like it's welded in on one side, but not the other. I think I need to insert a screwdriver in the slotted hole and bend it till it snaps off. Seems crude. Is that it?
