1024*768, cuz, uh, well... I only got a 17" monitor, and I already toasted one exactly like it by setting the res too high.

I think 1024x768 is best for websites; it's the most commonly used and it seems to fit most things well enough.  I use higher myself, but I keep my favorites bar open and so it brings the width back down.  Don't go 800x600, but I wouldn't go higher than 1024 either.
who needs a signature? ;)
It's not much of an excuse for a website, but my stuff can be found here

Design it 1024*768 - should get away with that on most machines.

I design all my websites for 640x480. For two reasons:
a. Using a horizontally-centred table of fixed width, the page actually still looks great on 1024x768. In fact, it's stylish.
b. For the hell of it. For old laptops. For communism.

I have 1024x768, and sometimes when I decide to use Starcraft editor 1280x1024. But I am on net always at 1024x768.

Why did you put less than 640x480 into the poll? As I know windows 9x, NT, Me and any other op systems don't support 512x384 for example.

I just got my eyes adjusted to 1152x864, and I'm planning to move one higher next week or something, but as far as websites go, I'd go with 1024x768

Probably because XP has too much GUI crap taking up space for there to be more than a few pixels of usable area at 640x480.

1024x768@100 (or mostly 85 these days as I haven't worked out how to make XFree86 drive my display at 100 yet) because that appears to be the "sweet spot" for my monitor.
