The lesson to be learned mandates designing for the smaller 800x600 display
format and using CSS to allow the content to flow when the browser is
resized or when the site is viewed on a display configured to support higher
resolutions. This methodology is a judgement call and IMO is best made
depending on the type and the context of the content that is to be
displayed, e.g. not all sites need use 'liqud design' and remain quite
useable when confined to fixed layouts or smaller 800x600 layouts.
There are also tools you should acquire that allow you to resize the browser
and rapidly switch display resolutions to test your work at design-time
allowing you to design in your preferred higher resolution.
