Well my tracking software (HitsLink, which I LOVE) shows that for 2006 so far:
58.65% of my visitors are 1024 x 768 17.72% of my visitors are 800 x 600 7.52% of them are 1280 x 1024 5.56% of them are 1280 x 800 etc etc Quote:

My numbers are pretty much the same as Melody's -- we now design for a "fat" 800x600, usually going liquid at > 760px.
What's really interesting (and worth considering) is what's going to happen when Vista comes out. I don't know too many web developers who have thought of this, but we're all going to lose those 250 pixels on the right-hand side. 1024 becomes 774, and so on. And there's very little chance that 1280x1024 is going to start ratcheting up the numbers. I was actually thinking of trimming back to 700px just because of Vista. If it's something you expect to stay up forever, better to design it the right size now than having to go back and edit in a year. -MattL

Sure 57% of people are viewing your screen in 1024x768 but I would bet 25% of people are still using 800x600. A site designed for 800x600 will look good to both but a site designed for 1024x768 is going to be more difficult to use for 1/4 of your users. The 800x600 users are typically the older users with worse eye sight, less computer skills but more money. Do you really want to make them try and fumble around your site scrolling left and right to see everything? Make the main text area expandable and everyone wins.
