Screen Size Recommended

[Samuel Shulman]

I currently design a new website and I wonder whether to design for a
600/800 screen or 1024/768

Any accepted advice on that?

Thank you,
Samuel

I still design for a 800x600 crowd mostly. There are still an aweful lot of
people out there that are running at really low resolutions even though they
may have a nice big monitor. For Intranets though, you can sometimes go
bigger as you may have a better feel of what is standard throughout an
enterprise.

Who is the audience? If I put up a site for programmers I'd use 1280x1024.
