It totally depends on who your users are. One of our clients who have a large general demographic; screen sizes seam to be all over the place. Including quite small (think of all those netbooks out there).
On our own site www.webnographer.com <http://www.webnographer.com> which is aimed at people in the usability field screen sizes tends to be either large, with a significant minority with very small screens (hypothesises again been netbooks). Another site I have access to the stats of UXBrighton <http://uxbrighton.org.uk/>follows this pattern. Key difference between the sites is that the large site, mac's make up less than 10%. On our site they make up about 50%, and on UXBrighton<http://uxbrighton.org.uk/> they are the majority. Also on the UXB site there has been no IE6 users ever. (except while testing it) One thing to bear in mind is that people with large screens, and Mac users don't have their browsers maximised. So viewport size of user browser is what is important.
