Wow. I just did this last week on my wife's PC. Perfect timing. Here's how.
1) Shut off PC. 2) Remove Voodoo. 3) Install GeForce. 4) Power up PC. 5) Log in, but don't do "startx" 6) su to root 7) run XFdrake so that it switches to the GeForce card. 8) Install the NVidia GLX drivers and configure them. 9) Now type exit to go back to your user 10) do "startx" and you're all set! No reboot needed. If you don't know how to do step 8, have a look at http://mdkxp.by-a.com/ at the tutorial section. You can memorize it or print it for reference. Download the SRC RPMs to your home folder before you do step 1, unless you know how to download from the commandline. This worked perfectly for me.
