Even though monitors etc. can go to greater than 1024x768 resolution, people don't necessarily fill that space with their browser window... I've run tests that still indicate keeping your important attention grabbing stuff within that 800x600 window as being important to productivity etc.

Frankly, if designers are allowed to start filling 1024x768+, we're going to see even more of a reduction in conversions as the tours will take longer to load. I haven't seen recent stats, but even though 20% may be at > 800x600 resolution, 40% or so are STILL on dial-up. I really don't understand the mentality. We're here to make money, not pretty sites.
