When a screen resolution is 800 x 600 - what is the Actual width of the browser viewing area (taking the window borders into account). If the page extends beyond the depth of the page and the browser adds a scroll-bar, what is the width of the browser's viewwing area now??
According to Dreamweaver MX it's 760x420...
If you want to accommodate pretty much all browsers, you need to aim for 744. This accounts for the "Favourites bar" in IE4.5 Mac as well as chrome and vertical scroll bar.
I tend not to worry about IE5 Mac these days, but out of habit, design for 720 as it's nicely divisible by 3 (for 3-col layouts), and then add 10px padding on each side.
