This is going to sound a bit.. rough, but if you push hard enough it will go in.
I got a newer video card for my old computer and the little L shaped piece hanging off the side is the only part that doesn't fit. It should go in if you press hard enough, and it shouldn't break. Don't quote me on that and don't do it if you don't want to. I won't be held responsible if it breaks, but my graphics card slot is the same way and my graphics card is the same way too, and I got mine to fit.

EDIT: The L piece is just to hold it in place. I'm sure it won't harm anything. Push hard but stay controlled.

Good Luck,
Watari

Thats defiantely an agp slot though?

I did nearly have it in place but thought me forcing may break it

Does every part of it go in except for the part closest to the connector thing? (The part where the card 'snaps' in.) Take a picture of your video card and post too.

I take that back now. Sorry.
Mine looks similar, but the left side is different.
I don't think it will fit.
