Solution
It's the largest slot it will fit in, closest to the CPU. If it's taking a awhile to boot. try going into the BIOS and forcing it to select the add on GPU.

none of them has a tab. it is working ok, but it takes forever to boot since installing the card and i am wondering if i should try to uninstall and move it from pci 32 bit slot to the pci-x 64 bit slot? Is it compatable for that slot?
