These days I design for 1024x768 if the content really needs it. I make sure that it works OK on 800x600.
If the design doesn't really need the larger display, I design for 800x600 and make sure it works OK on larger displays. (And is usable on 640x480.)
Even people with larger displays (like me) choose to make the web browser window smaller than full screen. Mac users in particular do this. Quite a few of the Microsoft Windows users I know usually have their browser full-screen and get confused when I click the icon to let them see multiple windows.
