Just because a given surfer's screen resolution is bigger than 800x600 doesn't mean they browse in full screen mode, or with their browser maximized. I, for example, certainly don't and haven't since I graduated from Windows 3.1.

I build 99% of the sites I build for clean viewing on 800x600 and also make sure that they keep the same clarity at larger resolutions. 3 years from now that may change as larger monitors with higher resolutions become "standard", but for now I'm keeping potential horizontal scroll out of the equation.
