                      MOST of my clients want 1024 as the standard... and in all honesty, I don't understand people saying 800 is king....

                      fact is, on stats I have, 1024 is the most popular overall.... 800 definitely below. PC's even from 3 - 4 years ago, were coming with 1024 as standard. And these days, 1280 is pretty standard. So to pander to 800 ... well, I don't get it ...

                      Ah well... I do what the client wants ...

                      If they want 800, fine ... if they want 900, fine ...

                        15% of the surfers is still using 800

                        I prefer 100%

                          Smart clients who keep an eye on making as much as they can from the surfers on the net won't turn away the 15%-25% that still have small monitors.. or.. oh here's a thought.. laptops... Seriously... between alienating those with 800x monitors and those on dial-up, it's no wonder so many porn companies fail.

                              I still design for 800 by default unless the client asks for 1024.

                                    All vital components of the site should be in the first 800 if it's a static layout.

                                      i always try to keep mine at no more than 750 - 790.

                                      depends on the page though. although i rarely if ever go above 800. unfortunately 800x600 is still the lowest common demoninator.

                                            www.nhl.com is designed at 1000px wide.

                                              i try to keep them fluid/adjustable

                                              Some people just like bulky looking 800x600. Its not all about old technology

                                                NHL is a prime example.

                                                I think worrying about the 15% is too much of a worry ... let's face it ... if they're using 15%, they're probably on a work PC or whatever.... :P

                                                  desktop monitors may be getting bigger, but the world is getting more portable and a laptop at 1280 would be a pain in the ass.

                                                  I always start a design at 750 wide and use this for everything so I know exactly where the site sits on any resolution.

                                                          I have like 3-4 years old dell and it has 1400x1050 resolution..and I bought my mom a cheap acer laptop, and even that has 1280x1024 or something..
                                                          ..and I'm off.

It was only last week that a colleague commented on how small the text was and that she had difficulty reading it. I've never found it small at all - so I looked at her 1200 res monitor (or thereabouts) and couldn't believe how BIG the text was. It was like she was blind or something!!
