I've been having this dilemma for quite some time now. In the past all my layouts have worked in 800x600 screens.
However, I'm thinking more and more of dropping that support and designing for screens @ 1024 x 768 - particularly for three column layouts were the sidebar and sideheaders are between 200px to 300px wide - they simply don't look good or even work sometimes in smaller resolutions like 800 x 600. So, here's a super quick poll:
