Yes, you can. External monitors work at up to 1900x1200. The only thing stock that doens't work with that machine is the wireless card. I;d suggest getting a Dell 1390 card which is a drop-in replacement for the existing card:

$9.95 US + free shpping.
I'm running 10.6.2 and Windows 7 side by side, NVS140M works fully including live resolution change through display preferences with chameleon RC4 using GraphicsEnabler.
Parallels 5 works, run Win7 in both Coherence mode and natively boot through chameleon. Everything else works. It's an amazing MAC laptop.
