If you upgrade, your kernel will be new, and you'll need new RPM's from nvidia (or build it from source - stupid on RedHat). Just be smart - download the RPM's you'll need beforehand, do the dist-upgrade, install the RPM's, edit XF86Config-4, and you should be good to go. As for the other card/whatever, I'm not sure. I'd have to research it, as I am ignorant of it at the moment. I personally prefer hand-installing RPM's. You may want to look into apt-get for RPM - this is extremely helpful. It's got it's own thread under the "Technology" forum, if you're interested. I linked to it in there. This makes keeping RedHat up-to-date much easier than hand-installing RPM's.
