You would have to run it at a non-native resolution, which will require
scaling to fill the screen. While scaling looks better with every generation
of LCDs, it is still a huge drop in image quality vs. native resolution.
You'd need to upgrade the video card to run any modern game at native. If
you're set on the AIW, you're probably looking at an X1800 XL AIW or X1900
AIW, unless you run old games only.

The one thing I will say about gaming on a 24" widescreen is that you need
the top-end of gfx cards to drive resoutions such as 1920x1200....a 7800GT
WILL struggle in most games at this resolution and you can forget turning
any AA on unless you have a ATI X1800/X1900....
So what happens if the card isn't fast enough, the game defaults to a
lower resolution, and then looks terrible? I have a AIW X800 which isn't
going to cut it at a high resolution.
