Any video card will work with a 24" monitor just fine. The only thing you have to check is what the max res the video card you're using can output, as that will be the max for your monitor.
For general usage most video cards are going to be able to support the resolution you want to use. If you want a special or incredibly high resolution then that's something you need to check yourself.

I assume you're running 2 monitors per card, and I also assume you are running via DVI. If those are both true, you have to look carefully to make sure the cards you buy can support dual 1920 x 1200 via DVI. Most cards support higher res via VGA than via DVI, so dual DVI at 1920 x 1200 is not so common.
If you're using 1 monitor per card and using DVI, you still need to make sure the card can support 1920 x 1200 via DVI.
For example, the card I have, which is rather old, but is still available (Matrox G450), supports a max of 1280x1024 via DVI (which nicely matches my 19" LCD monitor).

I just re-read the title, and you are running 24 monitors, which means more than 2 monitors per card. It might be difficult to find multi-output cards that support DVI at 1920 x 1200. Even VGA might be an issue for multi-out cards at that res.
How many monitors are you running per card now? Which cards are you currently using? What motherboard are you using?

On 3rd look. I think the title is supposed to say 24" Monitors. It would still help to know what motherboard and which and how many cards and monitors you are running now.

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding of my question. I'm interested in 1 or 2- 24" monitors not 24 monitors.
I have a max. res. at 1280X1024 but it has 1280x768 wide aspect. I was sold this product by a sales person at microcenter not knowing anything about video cards. I will probaly keep it but i want a card that will handle 1 or 2 24" monitors..thats all.
