    Yes, any gpu made in the past 10 years has enough power to do so. That's because the desktop is 2D, and that's not very taxing on the gpu.

    So there's no worries there. This is of course if you're running XP and earlier or Vista w/o Aero. That's because Aero has certain gpu requirements in order to run at certain resolutions.

    If you do intend to run Aero on this 24" LCD with the go7300, then go search on Aero's requirements and see what type of power you need to run the LCD's resolution.

    The screen's size isn't really going to affect things, anyway...the screen has it's own power. It's the screen resolution you need to worry about. Honestly, any video card from the past 5 years could probably swing Aero at up to 720p, but I wouldn't try pushing a 1080p screen at full Aero resolution unless you had something a little stronger than a 7300.

    The computer doesn't really care if you're displaying on a 10" screen or a 135" screen, so long as it can handle the resolution.
