Well, textex. It's been my experience that 800X600 is more optimal as most viewers tend to use these settings. Pendanticist.

What is the consensus? Should I build to suit 800 x 600?
Do I need to redo all of my sites? Is there a way to keep everything static across all setting sizes?

800x600 accounts for around 46% of page accesses at the moment.
1024x768 or higher account for about 50%.
Statistics from BrowserNews [upsdell.com] So if your design only works on one or other of these resolutions, then you are missing out half of your audience. Try using a fluid layout that adjusts itself to fit the page correctly (i.e. try specifying the widths of divs and tables in percentages)

800x600=46%
1024x768=41% What you should do is design your site so they fit 800x600 and doesn't looks odd in 1024x768. To test your site in different screen res, instead of changing the resolution of your monitor you can use javascript. Type in your browser address bar
javascript:resizeTo(800,600) or
javascript:resizeTo(1024,768). Don't use a resize to bigger than your actual resolution it won't show anything. Leo

Or check out the screen size favelets at [tantek.com...] (which let you add a button to your links bar that does the same thing).
