All should be transferable, though the 475 only has one RAM slot and
requires VRAM to be installed in matched pairs.
Just carefully pry up the old LC040 with a screwdriver - work around the
edges evenly so you don't bend the pins - and drop the 040 from the Quad in
place, making sure to match the white dot on the CPU with the dog-eared
corner on the socket. You'll see what I mean when you get in there.
You shouldn't have any problem with the heatsink. You may need to apply
heatsink grease or a clip; I don't know how the heatsink is set up in the
Quad 63x/640 because I've never seen a full Quad version.
