That is a little lever, you simply move it a tad bit away from the socket, then pull it up and the CPU will then remove with very little force.

I also suggest removing the heatsink if its still on, otherwise your processor might get damaged.

And it's processOr not processEr ;)

Frankly, I'm not sure we should be telling people who can't spell the word "Processor" how to remove one from their motherboard. :)

amd (http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_869_4348%5E6678,00.html) has some videos on how to install processors and heatsinks.

I use a hammer and a crowbar personally ;)

And Tom's Hardware has some videos on how (and when) NOT to remove heatsinks (http://www4.tomshardware.com/cpu/20010917/heatvideo-05.html) ;)

YGPM so as not to hijack the thread.

Another note on the original topic, Be careful while removing the heatsink and fan assembly. This is the point that most CPUs get crushed or the like. Ask if you have questions.
