My traffic is 12% 800x600. The vast majority uses XP and 1024x768, which is exactly the minimum I'm shooting for. Also, Analytics reports that only 8% uses dialup. This is the reason I build TGPs 750 pixels wide and use big thumbnails.
So yeah, the real question is how much is 800x600 traffic willing to spend...

This is exactly the part i was thinking about, anyone with a half decent new monitor uses a resolution above 800x600 (there are cases but i am just saying)
If content is king then why not use that extra space to display more content that can reach the majority of your resolution users? (ie 1024x768)
At the same time money is green for everyone you could also be losing money due to the fact of wasted space.
That is the exact reason why we are moving forward and away from 800x600 layouts.
