No way MiG. The vast majority of people use 800 x 600 as shown by those websites that log visiting browser settings. I tried to use 1024x768 on my 17" monitor for a while, but found myself having to get too close to read small fonts with comfort. As I tend to adopt a more 'laid-back' posture at the PC I went back to 800 x 600.
I personally don't think 1024x768 is really comfortable on less than a 19" screen. But then my eyes aren't that young anymore.
