Thanks a lot zenstate!
As that Apple discussion says its very important to have at least 64MB these days. When I used to have a G4 mac mini with only a 9200 32MB I ran it with a 20" widescreen (1680x1050) and sometimes when I would put video in full screen mode the screen just went black. This was because there simply wasn't enough vram to drive that high a resolution.
As long as you get a 7000 with 64MB you're golden for running any screen at any resolution.
