Visitors to my State Government site are almost divided exactly in half between 800x600 and 1024x768, based on around 30,000 unique visits per day, and we actually provide 2 versions of our sitethrough testing the res before we render the HTML.
There is a growing percentage of those with
For newer sites I try to make them at least good at
800x600 but also like to make sure that things don't get messed up as they get
smaller than that. However, if you are using CSS with a 3 col layout you have
the problem of IE not having a correct implementation of min-width which means
size (search, history, favourites, etc).

There's a philosophy you can adopt of designing with 640x480 in
*mind* but which doesn't necessarily meaning designing *for* it.
We had a note in our guidelines to the effect that the main content,
headline, breadcrumb nav etc should be within the 640x480 area, even
if the page itself is much
What sizes are you designing for?
For the sites I work on, the majority of the audience has 1024x768 *or
better*, but a significant amount (10-25% depending on the site) still
have 800x600. So we design for 1024x768, but designs have to remain
usable/functional at 800x600 without horizontal

I'd have to agree with that. Our studies also show maximized browsing
for over 90% when users are working at 1280x1024 or below.

I would guess that unless one is aware that mobile phones are a
significant population (over a few percent), one could simply detect
mobiles and serve them an unstyled page, rendering plain text? This
would fit into any browser width if done correctly.

Mobile phone issues can be solved by serving separate stylesheets for
handheld browsers.
It's best to not specify the minimum nor the maximum width of a layout
in handheld media stylesheets.
