Some mobo's have some type of clip on the end and some don't. I wouldn't worry about it. Just gotta trust that the mobo engineers know what they're doing.

Agreed. The first system I built for my brother (the one I'm using now) I accidently broke that little clip off. I went ahead and installed the video card and it's been working fine without it. Those AGP slots are pretty snug to begin with, so I think the clip is just sort of an extra precaution for people that move their computer and jostle it around alot. I doubt it would even come unplugged without the clip though.
