Stephen, A site I maintain is used mainly by lawn mower/hardware shops. It is not uncommon to walk into one and find a network of 5 computers running Windows 95! The computers are far from being up to date but you may find these statistics of some use: http://extremetracking.com/open;sys?login=meyequau The site is (www.mey.com.au). 90% of users are accessing it with Internet Explorer and the resolution is almost exactly divided between 800x600 (@ 43%) and 1024x768 (@ 44%).
