wow that must be some badass xray cannon. the only 800x600 monitor we had shipped with out win95 pc in 1996. glad we got that out of the house.
designing websites myself, i consider 800x600 resoultion desktops equivalent to a win95 or win98 system, with IE 4, 5 or 6 on it. down to 6 i may go, but even that is unbelievably annoying, making all the extra css and code. not to mention the several shortcomings when it comes to alpha rendering. the thing with websites is, who is your target visitor. for university sites, it might be appropriate to go down to 800x600. for a lifestyle site, i don't see why this is necessary. and speaking of gamer sites, who usually have the coolest tech specs anyway, why should anyone think of reducing the res to that level?
it's different with games. i hate games that you can't turn down to 800x600 or even 640x480. it won't run on my radeon9600 properly otherwise on my laptop, that's important if it's just a casual game and i don't wanna install it on my big dev tower, plus, i need to run it in a window sometimes. windows that are 1024x768 big really take up too much space.

For websites I've set my lowest requirements like this:
800x600x16, at least IE6 supported (maybe with unimportant flaws). Netscape 4 is not supported at all, Netscape6 untested, Netscape7, Mozilla 1.5 operating fine. Opera9, Firefox2, IE7, Chrome are a must.
800x600 is still interesting for web TV, certain console browsers, webbooks and the like. For the desktop PC this resolution is dying out and can be ignored soon.
But I agree with ello that some border around the main website is a good design element. This is why I stay at 800x600 for now.

its just tooo ugly if you use a TFT with 800*600 (and i think that the trend goes to 16:10 and always bigger res. ...1600*1050 will be (in my opinion) the best ress in the next 2 jears for a 22 zoll TFT But beside that I know many "pro-gamers" (explicit CS-ler) which play with a 800*600 ress.. (sry for my bad eng )
