20 in. or 24 in. ?

Question

Im finally converting to a mac, but im stuck with a dilemna.
I cant decide between the 20in or the 24 in. What exactly are the differences besides the screen size?
I know that the 24 inch comes with a graphics card that has dedicated memory. Is it impossible for the 20 in to come with dedicated vid memory?
And the only thing I think i need dedicated vid memory for is vista (the memory ****).
And a seperate question, if im buying such a big screen, can i use it to hook up my playstation?
I know nothing about computers. Please explain in simple terms >_<
Thanks!

Chakram, it depends on your needs, and budget. If budget is not the problem, nor size of desk, enclosure, etc., then go with the 24". You get a bigger screen, which will having multiple applications open, seeing graphics better without having to zoom, perhaps ease your manipulation of data because you can see it better... being able to see more of a score in Garageband, limits scrolling in word processing, photoshop, and so on, the screen is brighter, can impress the "girls" and/or "boys..." and friends, with the size... well. If you plan to watch DVDs, or TV shows, etc. you might enjoy the larger screen also.
