Dimensions of a fixed-sized website

I was wondering what you guys use for dimensions of a fixed size site.

I basically want to have all of the site fitted for a 800x600 screen w/ no horizontal scrollbar. Viewed on a 1024x768 or better I'll have background behind the main part of the site.

I've been trying for a while but I can't seem to find the perfect width. I know it is less then 800px because the scrollbar takes up some of the width. Also, I know there is a way to disable the horizontal scrollbar (in CSS) but is this advisable?

If anyone can help me with a CSS code example of how'd they'd set up a site like I mentioned or the dimensions they use. I would be a happy camper, thanks.

770px is usually good if you set your page margins to 0. I typically use 760 to be safe.

As for setting your margins to 0, use this:
Code:
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
  BODY {
     margin: 0px;
     padding: 0px;
  }
-->
</STYLE>
