can it run
Yes, but close to the edge. 24GB against a 22GB working set: it runs, with little room for long context windows or other processes.
weights 17GB + KV cache 2GB at 4k context vs ~24GB usable → full. 19.0 GB needed of 24 GB usable — headroom for context
computed roofline: 936 GB/s × 0.46–0.76 efficiency window / 17.0GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points.
