Latin1-General, case-insensitive, accent-sensitive, kanatype-insensitive, width-insensitive for Unicode Data, SQL Server Sort Order 52 on Code Page 1252 for non-Unicode Data is the default SQL collation sequence and is compatible with GP. The Latin1-General, binary sort collation is the old original sort order for GP dating back to version 1.0 and SQL Server 6.5 and 7.0. To convert I have always done it the hard way by doing a bulk-copy out and a bulk copy in. There are other ways but this has always worked for me. Essentially what you are doing is extracting all tables in the GP databases out to text files, create GP databases with the newer collation sequence, truncate all tables and then import those text files into the new daabases. I have the instructions and scripts if you need them. Just send me a private message and I will send them over.
