Does the owner's manual put any limit on screen resolution? Honestly, I think any 15" lcd with a vga connection should work for it.

My fiancee's getting my 2.4 uni MBP, and I'll be hooking my 12" 1.5 g4 pb to her old, tiny LCD. My geforge has 64 megs of ram, and I honestly don't know if it will handle much more than that.

Yeah, you should just look at the resolution on the monitor you want to hook it up to. I'm just going to hook mine up to the 15" because, well, it's free.

Good luck.
