1024x768 on a 17" monitor here. Most of my clients are configured for the same. Some of them (I'd say about 20%) still use 800x600 (and in one case, 640x480 on a P120 in his basement, which is hooked up to a 10-year-old Okidata dot matrix printer and running WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS quite happily.

Even though my screen resolution is set to 1024 x 768 I still design for 800 x 600 just to be on the safe side.

grrr... I am just trying to resize a site to 800x600 my designer (after I fired him) screwed up on and I am hating it.
I wonder if people with 1024x res buy more from e-comm sites?

I personally use 2048 x 1536 on a 21" monitor for one of my systems, another other one is using 1280 x 1024 and a third is on 800 x 600.
But most people still use 1280 x 1024 or less down to 800 x 600. I design sites for 800 x 600 as this is still what many people use. The people who run at higher resoultions are fine, and it dosent make the sire inaccessiable for the older guy.

Even though I run higher resolutions (generally 1280 x 1024 or 1024 X 768, depending on the system; the one I usually use has dual displays both generally set at 1024 x 768) I prefer that sites I visit are designed for 800 x 600 anyway. Allows me more flexible use of my screen real estate. I rarely want a full-screen display of any website.

1024x768 here
Although all my designs *should* work fine on 800x600 with no horizontal bar and I have no plans on changing this anytime soon.
Anyone who still surfs the internet on 640x480 will just have to deal with the horizontal bar.

Last I read, Jakob Nielsen was still recommending to design for 800x600.
That said, my monitor is set for 1280x1024. I love the extra space.

I use 1152x864 on my 17".
But i religiously design in 800x600.
EDIT : The only time i'd design for 1024x768 is when 19" monitors are cheap and 15" monitors are dead.YourCheapHost.com - Low cost multi domain hosting solutions. [Legal adult content friendly]

oh well whatever, things have to be positioned so everyone can enjoy them
I always go for the old 800 X 600 , it's the most common with my visitors
not that I recommend it to everyone, may as well design for Mac
