I think the best possible scenario is to make a fluid width site that accomodates everyone. Here is what I think would be the “Perfect” fluid width layout:
- Works in all major browsers
- Shrinks to 780px
This accomodates users with 800x600 resolution, with no horizontal scroll! - Grows to 1260px
This accomodates users with 1280x768 resolution and everything in between. - This accommodates 90%+ of all internet users. You could easily make this layout grow larger, but be mindful of how line-length affects readability. Nobody wants to read a line of text 1980px long.
- Sidebars are of “equal height” to the main content
- Page content is centered for users with even higher resolutions.

I use 700px to allow for my 1024x768 Tablet PC to be in Portrait mode.
