The OP doesn't state what kind of site it is. So I think it's
ill-advised to suggest to ignore whatever percentage of the potential
viewing populace is using more than 1024x768. At home I use 128 x 1024.
Hey, who knows, I just might be the guy who does NOT place the $10,000
order on the OP's site because it isn't readable for me.

Better to advise that he create a fluid design that is easily viewed by
/anyone/ at any resolution.
