10.4.8 replace a 7600GT with a 7600GS

I have a perfect running system based on JAS 10.4.8. I run it with a Geforce 7600GT now. Since it makes too much noise, I bought a 7600GS silent/passive. The silent is a 512Mb card where the GT was a 256Mb card.

 

What steps do I follow to upgrade this? With a new install you can choose new NVinject settings or something like that, but now I just want to switch cards. And it would be nice to have all the 512 Mb VRAM available (I only saw a VRAM amount selector in the new Leo4All distro's).

 

Does anybody know how to tackle this or have tips to make this transition a smooth one?

When I started reading about modifying the cards ROM, I got little nervous about possible success.

I did this procedure:

Instead of using a pre-made ROM, I used this tutorial. The results are excelent. I rebooted the system, and the previouws Titan install from JAS 10.4.8. detected this 7600GS without any problems. QE, CI are functioning, all resolutions are supported and the 512mb is detected as well.
