Hi Paul

In this case I would definitely code for 800 and make it look good
at 1024 (left-aligned or centered).

Otherwise users at 800 won't see the whole page or would have to scroll
horizontally.

Unless more than 80 percent of your userbase is at 1024... which is
unlikely. Depending on your audience, it should be something between 30
and 60 percent.
