What is the minimum screen resolution for which you guys currently optimize your web designs?

I don’t really know if I’m asking in the right place, so if my question has to be transferred I apologize for it. I am totally noob in this place.
Thank you.

Whatever I’m working on.
Really I try to fit everything on about 900px. 1024×768 is very much the norm, and the most common resolution today. I wouldn’t go past it without a very good reason too.

I suggest
750px if targeting 800 x 600 px
950px if targeting 1024 x 768 px
1220px if targeting 1280 x 1024 px
Whatever system you are targeting, make sure you leave at least 50px gap for the scroll bar and sidebar(in some browsers)
