I currently own a Quicksilver 800 and the Apple 17" Studio Display. My computer came with the Radeon 7500 video card. Will upgrading the card to the newer Radeon or nVidia have any effect on the image quality. I do not play games or use my computer for video. I will use it for photo editing and thus a sharp image with realistic and deep colors is important. What would you recommend. Thanks

No, it won't affect image quality -- 2D image quality is awfully good with the setup you have.

A newer/more expensive card will really help most with 3D gaming, which you said you don't do. I'd probably suggest you save your money ;-)

A better moniter is the only thig that will improve image quality, but like the man said, you have a pretty good setup there.
