Its removable, but that defeats the purpose and function of a fan-less small form factor (half width) graphics card. I just pull out a hack saw and whacked off the corner that would not allow me to fully insert to the slot. I installed on a Dell MoBo GX-620 MiniTower with intel chipset 945, if I recall. For $20 used oem it was worth it. I recommend this card if you are upgrading video on a system like mine: A mid line, circa 2005 (XP or Vista came preinstalled) system with a PCIe x 16 slot. If your Motherboard takes 4GB max RAM then this is likely the correct upgrade to your system. Keep in mind, 1 GB (on the video card) is about all you'll need, anything more will require a newer motherboard and additional power and cooling, so there are limits. More is not always better, past a certain point. This card brought my system to its maximum performance, with a minimum of money or power or cooling demands on my system. And this makes it an EXCELLENT value if you have a system like mine, a good mid line business class and home user system that is on a motherboard from around 2005 with PCI-e. You may have to modify the heat sink, but its worth not having another fan whirring away...Read full review

This card is to replace my current GeForce GT8400 when it dies, so I haven't even powered this one up. Nothing further to say.

Am currently using it with Debian 8.2 Jessie without any problems. Bought as a replacement for an AMD graphics card that wasn't compatible with Gnome 3 so I looked for something that was going to be compatible with all GNU/Linux open source operating systems. Tried it with a live disk of Trisquel and it recognised the graphics card and my dual monitors were showing at the correct resolution without any tweaking required. Glad it was cheaper than buying it from ThinkPenguin.
