I want to have the same look for people that have computers with different
settings. I want my pages to hit in the middle of users screens and I also
want the same look from user to user. Is there a standard page width to
design in.
 
Since about 30% of users are using 800x600 screen resolution, and many
other users do not open their browsers to full screen, I suggest
designing for an 800x600 window.
Easiest way is to use a centred 760px wide table and place all content
in that.
 
If you want the page to look "exactly" the same for all resolutions, you will
have to design liquid layouts using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). This will
not always be exactly the same, but it is close.

If you want the page to be identical, plus margins on larger res, you can
set to an 800 x 600 resolution.
