My choice, there are so many people with different resolution monitors out there, it can be hard to decided. But you have to remember a lot of people with large monitors dont use the whole view space for browsing, and further the toolbars and options of the browser itself actually takes up a lot of room.

I have been making the pages for my website 1024×768. Was the 800×640 your choice or the project specs?

neagative, not my choice. I plan for at least 1400×900 background space for webpages, and 1024×796 functioning space.
