Well...

I use 1024x768 at work, and for all the desktop wallpapers I make...

But...

(and don't kill me)

I use 800x600 at home *runs and hides*

What can I say? I like things big? Ok... that's come out wrong xD

I have two monitors, one at 1024x768 and the other at 1152x864. However, Z, keep in mind that people use Explorer to browse and have that sidebar thing going on, so just because someone has a 1024 monitor doesn't mean they have 1024 pixels of screen space for 5M.net. Whatever your poll results are, I wouldn't design to that width -- I'd go at least one lower.

Good point, evay. Both my monitors at home and work run at 1280x1024, but while at work I run my browser window maximized, at home I run it in a smaller window. I know my wife also won't run any of her applications maximized.

My laptop (at work, but at home during the summer) is at 1280x800, and my desktop is at 1024x768.

And, as Derek said, I don't like to have to maximize my browser windows if I can help it.

Ditto, 1024 X 768. By choice, actually, any more resolution and stuff either spills over the edges or the icons get REALLY tiny. I've found that sort of thing a lot, technology advancing faster than our ability to adjust.

1024x768, which is as high as this system will go. Stupid crappy awful IGP (which isn't even supported anymore, double blah). Can't even enable the lowest level of hardware acceleration either otherwise it's Blue Screen City.

1024x768.

It's a real pain when you're looking for a wallpaper.

And I have troubles when I can't maximize a window. I like 'em as big as they can get.

Oh my...

Are you kidding? I can't find wallpapers that aren't 1024x768.

Link plz?

I either have to find a 1024 -

- okay, I understand where I screwed up. It's 1280x768, but I've had years with a 1024x768 reso that it's still not out of my fingers. Silly fingers.

So I have 1280x768, and I either have to find a 1024x768 wallpaper that looks good with pillarboxing, or a 1280x1024 wallpaper that has a bottom that's not significant. Most times I just give up and center a funny comic strip or something.
