it will run, but not with all settings 'high'
I've done some testing with all the settings on a 2.66 (and rest the same)
If you want to run it in 'high' you will get a 10-30fps (depending on environment/location) and this is terrible to play...
Switching settings to 'Off' or 'Low' and/or lower the resolution will give a performance boost to 50-75 fps to 125fps, but you give up the nice environment (as in all the screen shots on the web)
 
If you're getting the 24" and want to game, do yourself a favor and get the 8800 GPU.
