Interesting article on using fixed width design for sites: http://www.notestips.com/80256B3A007F2692/1/TAIO-5TT34F
He makes a good point:
"Limiting the page width is about maximising readability. The more words there are on a line, the further the eye has to travel back to the beginning, and the easier it is to end up on the wrong line, which can increase the time it takes to read a page and decrease the ability to easily scan the content rather than read it fully. Scanning is considered the most common way for web pages to be read. A study carried out last year concluded that adults prefer a medium line length, children a narrow length."
