Your screen resolution when visiting BYOAC?

irregardless of this polls results.. As a professional web Designer I'd reccomend sticking with 800x600. The site I run gets millions of unique visitors each month and by far teh majority are running 800x600, running Windows 98, and using IE5.5

Yeah, as a web designer, also, you simply CAN NOT go beyond 800x600. The well-designed websites that I have seen use a trick to make it look acceptable even for 640x480 - they'll have a pane on the right side of the screen full of advertisements and bonus materials, but all of the real content sits within 640x480 so that even a 640x480 person will be able to read everything without it being a nightmare.
The people answering this poll will ALL be of a more technical nature than the average joe out there. The trend has moved to 800x600 (thank god!), but there are still plenty of people out there running 640x480.
For an intranet site at work, we forced people to go to 800x600, and everyone wanted to have our heads. "I wear thick glasses already and it hurts my eyes"...

I agree, I have all my computers at 800x600, and I have my homepage set to "http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php"
because having the msg board in the "http://www.arcadecontrols.org" frames makes it virtually unuseable... (especially if someone posts a wide pic in a thread, every msg in that thread that has no carriage returns goes as wide as that pic, so I have to scroll left to right to read every single line...serious pain in the ass)

I always run 1024x768.. either on 19" or 21"
if it's 17" or smaller I will run 800x600.. but i'm hardly on anything smaller than 19" :D

640x480 here. That is all my laptop supports.
