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.

All the best
