My Quicksilver 867 has a GeForce3 and Radeon 7000. I'm taking that machine to work, and bringing home a new (well, refurb) dual 1gig that has the stock GeForce4mx. I want to take the GF3 and Radeon out of the 867 and put them in the dual 1gig, and take the GF4mx and put it in the 867.

Is there anything I need to be concerned about with this swap? I guess the bottom line of my question... ignoring the ATI card (not an Apple OEM card, and I have an installer for it anyway), are the drivers for the GF4mx and GF3 already on both machines? Or will I have to reinstall the OS to get full functionality after the swap?
