Used to we would design & develop websites for 800x600 as this was over 40% of your target market. Now, at least in this industry, your target market should be 1024x768 or higher, I tend to think most poker players of value probably use either a widescreen laptop or monitor(s) running at 1600x1200+. This means in my professional opinion that you should design for at least 1024x768, maybe bigger if you prefer.

Having a liquid (ex. variable, 100%) site is not bad, either - there are many schools of thought on this. Just look at various CSS layout / web design sites to read some of the pros and cons of different styles.
