The resolution is dependent on what kind of monitors you are running. The 20" LCD (Apple brand) has a max resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels, 17" iMac has a max resolution of 1440x900 and the iBook only supports up to 1024x768.
Most monitors nowadays "should" support at least 1024x768, but you can still find people using 800x600 resolutions around. If you design a site with 800x600 screen in mind, you generally cover MOST computer users (Macs included). You can also make your site's layout to be "flexible" enough to accommodate different screen resolutions, and that probably is the best way to go. To test your web site on different screen resolution (without having to buy another monitor!), you can change the resolution in (Systems Preferences > Displays) and see how it looks. Another way is to download a Web developer plugin for Firefox that allows you to adjust the Firefox browser window to a specific size (like 800x600) and you can see if your site is still workable in that size. <https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=60> There is no "perfect" in web design (unlike print design where you can control the output), you can only make your site as accessible as possible to your intended target audience.
