[Typo3] site dimensions - best resolution

[Christoph Koehler]

Thanks for the input guys!
I do have awstats (comes with cpanel) and will take a look. I do have some  
designs that need to be hardcoded in pixels though, so I don't know if em  
will be an option, but I will keep it in mind for later sites!

Thanks again!

Christoph
