They should, since I can run my 22" Cinema Display (1600x1024) from 
my 800MHz TiBook, I'm pretty sure they can at least run the HD (23") 
Cinema Display (1920x1200), since mine only has 32MB VRAM.
According to Apple the newer 15", "support up to 1024 x 768 pixels on 
the built-in display and up to 2048 x 1536 pixels on an external 
display, both at millions of colors".  So, you should be set, even a 
22" CRT can't go much higher than that.
