Many sites make their pages to fit 800x600 minimum.
Personally on my own sites I go minimal usually using tables that are free
to expand and contract to the size of a browser and minimize graphics on
pages that donΉt need them.

For picture pages I try to still keep it so that a 56k still wont die
trying.  On some pages like that I will actually increase the size of the
thumbs so that they are in a viewable size but not the full bandwidth
draining full size pic.

There are many ways to do this stuff but too many people these days are not
taking the slower connection to heart as they do the slower bus.
