The exact dimensions of IE's client area are 766 by 459 (the white space where pages are displayed); IE is maximized and the resolution is 800 by 600, no extra toolbars installed in IE. This is after subracting 34 pixels of the right scrollbar (default in windows apps, at least thouse using Win32 API libraries). However, 2 pixels need to be further subtracted from the 766 to make sure no horizontal scrollbar will be displayed. So I would suggest that 764 is absolute maximum width, but still, it may be living dangerously depending on some other issues, such as table borders around the page.
As for the height, I don't think there is a rule. Much depends on the nature of the site. If, for instance, you post items such as news or bulletin boards there is really little you can do to control the height.
