I DON'T DESIGN FIXED WIDTH SITES. <-- unless the client really wants it
and they have a good reason
I don't want to scale images until all major browsers support
antialiased or bicubic scaling methods.
I don't want to clip images because I believe that correct proportions
and good cropping is an important presentational technique.
I don't want to read 20 posts from people telling me to use liquid
layouts because that's not an issue in this thread
I WAS hoping that a couple of kind people might look at their server
logs or stats and read off the resolution and % data for me.
If no-one can do that or is willing to do it then I don't mind, but I
believe that the list does not need another fixed-width vs. liquid debate.
Thanks
Stephen.

I think all your problems would be solved if you stopped designing
fixed width sites. Or at least most of your problems. I make sites
that look fine from 640px to 1280px. I use max-width to keep them from
getting too wide. I never have to think twice about what resolution to
support. The hard part is dealing with IE, since it doesn't do
max-width. Sometimes I give IE a fixed width, and sometimes I use
Javascript to force max-width on it.
A couple of articles on dealing with large images in liquid layouts:
