I see that many new professional websites are being designed for high resolution screens. For example, [www.apple.com](http://www.apple.com) is now 980px wide and [www.yahoo.com](http://www.yahoo.com) is now 950px wide.

Originally web designers had to design for 800x600 resolution and now the story has changed. Which resolution should we design for now and how wide should our site be?
