screen resolution

I am kind of curious about the resolutions everyone is running. I would like to know if i should be testing the site at a smaller resolution then i personally run or not. at work i run at 1600x1200 and at home i run at 1024x768 so what is everyone else running at?

edit: i have the poll set so you can choose more then one option as i know i personally have 2 different pc's i work on and view the forums on and have 2 different resolutions. thanks for the input guys.

Everything is just a pinch big at 1024x768 on a 17in, and it's perfect at 1280x1024 on a 20in, but it's really not that big of a difference...

1024x768 on both machines at home, and 1280x1024 (I believe) at school.

I use 1024x768 on all my machines, except in the console I use like 800x600. My desktop monitor sits at the far back of my desk (ie giant table), so I like to read while sitting back in the chair. And I read a lot... so it would be very annoying to strain my eyes to read every damn thing. :/

But I'd sure like a higher resolution on my PowerBook, since it's always close enough to my face. 12" screen is so tiny, but I like my laptop small. If only a higher resolution... :/

1024x768 most the time, but I turn I crank it up once in a while when I'm working with a lot of code or what not, but my eyes aren't the greatest, they're at the point where I don't technicly need glasses, but it helps to have them, so I usually just use 1024x768 for my own seeing purpouses.
