Yep that means it can do 720p64 You might want to check your monitor OSD settings to see what kinds of interpolation it offers; it should have around three modes; no interpolation (which stretches 1280x720 to 1280x1024, might look a bit odd) and two other modes, one of which adds black bars on the bottom and top of the screen (the sharpest setting; no stretching and correct aspect ratio) and probably a setting similar to Sony's "Smart Zoom" (for TVs, if you happen to know those ones) which does stretch the image a bit, and adds bars (though smaller than with 'no interpolation'), but generally (probably) offers the best quality/size for 720p on your monitor.
