I'm sure everyone has there own opinion on this but I'm still gonna build my pages for 800. I look at the ads from all the computer makers and most low end systems still come with 15" monitors with an upgrade option to 17".
I also feel there is nothing wrong with with a little blank space on either side of the page for people who have high res big monitors.

I'm currently using a 17" laptop and 22" desktop monitors and I figure a lot of the technical people(who maybe use the internet more) tend to work with the bigger screens and higher resolutions.

A bit more than "a little blank space" when somebody resizes my screen to full size.

Also, on a side note:
Looking at things like TheProdukkt, I wonder how the internet will be working in the near future. Are a few pics and a couple of banners going to be the best way to sell porn?

Connections are faster and faster for home user too, so using short DVD-quality trailers etc. may be one thing. Like we use small video clips now as preview.
For now, those are way too large files for average surfer.

I work with 1024x768 or higher cause it make my eyes blow-out if I setup 19" LCD to lower.

Recently I've had habbit to make freesites with my laptop tho. 800x600 mostly. Gives nicely a totally different point of view!
