What does 980 pixels get you? 4 nice sized equal width columns or 2 nice sized sidebars and one decent sized main content area. Any way you slice it, 980 pixels is nice. It divides evenly and provides enough horizontal resolution for great looking 3 or 4 column layouts. The math is nice for people like me who were never very good at it and require a calculator to do their CSS; working like this, I need to pull it up a lot less often. It’s easy to remember 245 + 245 = 490 + 490 = 980… or if I do happen to forget this, I can at least figure it out without my calculator (whew).
