PDAs tend to totally reformat the page anyway, so it doesnt help much to make the site smaller for everyone else just because of the PDA users, and you can deliver different versions anyway..
We design for 1024x768 to 1920x1200 (we have more users on 1920x1200 than on 800x600)

word jevad. Don't design everything for everybody .... find out who your target is and design for them. The Internet's a big place there's room.

True, it mainly comes down to who you are creating the site for...

I notice that older people who have sight problems prefer 800x600.

(May 5 06, 14:53)I do 8x6. also remember to keep people using handheld devices in mind. lower resolution is better for those people. then again that might not be your target market.

At work we still develop for 800*600 but personal stuff I tend to go for a minimum of 1024*768.
