Website width, what do you use?

Hi there,

I was thinking about making a blog post about this, but no one would ever read it, so i thought it would be easier/quicker to ask here.

What size to you like to design in? Usually i design my templates in 780px wide, by whatever is needed in length. I use 780px because it accommodates for most screen resolutions. Although most people use 1024x768, there are still people using 800px * 600px, so I find it best to design for everyone.

Now, when looking around I see more and more websites with large widths, 900-1000+px, I’m starting to like these websites more and more, but I’m wondering if it’s wise to start designing using these dimensions.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks
