There is a definite trend in monitor design to go from screen resolutions of 800 x 600 pixels to screen resolutions of 1024 x 768 pixels. Five studies of screen resolutions were reviewed. Two of the studies reported that the largest number of users (53%) were using screen resolutions of 800 x 600 pixels (27% were using 1024 x 768). However, three of the studies reported that the largest number of their users (43%) were using screen resolutions of 1024 x 768 pixels (only 24% were using 800 x 600 pixels). Only about 7% of users are using 640 x 480 pixels, and about 13% are using higher resolutions (1280 x 1024, 1600 x 1200, etc.)

These numbers give you a idea on when trying to size a photo what you should shoot for. Now remember that is the screen resolution so you want to size things to fit within those screens. Also keep in mind many people are on older windows software that does not resize the photos that show up. Me for example I run Win98SE on one computer WIN2000 on another and WINXP on a third. And all three get used pretty much the same amount of time. My wife teases me because sometimes I will be online with two computers at once. (OK im a mega geek)
