Since I still have a 15 and 17 inch monitors, I still use the 800 x 600, if I go any higher it makes alot of items hard to read. I find that I can resize many of the higher resolutions back to 800 x 600 and there is no real problem, the only thing I've seen so far are the animated walls for desktop X that I can't use and haven't managed a way resize (yet)and this is a big disappointment. As Hell Dragon pointed out, their poll shows that 800 x 600 is still used most and the 1024 x 768 comes in a very close second. I personally have decided that its more important upgrading my computer itself and since I have a flat screen monitor, I plan to use it until I have to buy another.
