If the card is supported by Snow (I think it is) you would just have to remove whatever method you use to add QE/CI (EFI string, Chameleon, injector) to the 8800 and take it out and plug the 9800, SL should reboot fine but without desktop acceleration, then just reinstall the EFI String or whatever you used to have QE/CI (if the card is plugged in the same slot it might not be needed to do all this but it should be safer).
