Many people have said they could run Adobe CS3 with no problem. I'm pretty sure you can run a 24'' monitor as long as its max resolution is not bigger than 1900x1600 i think. Can anyone confirm this?

I know some people that run it fine with 20" monitors, I don't see how 24" would make a difference.

Correct. And 1900 x 1200 resolution is commonly available
in monitors from 24" to 27" -- from Dell, NEC, etc.

I'm running a Mac mini 2.0Ghz C2D on a 24" Samsung monitor and I use Adobe CS3 on it. No issues.

A 2.4GHz processor is of course a bit faster, but the mini does the job when I need it to. :)

Out of interest, which version of Adobe CS3 are you running?
