Most of your visitors are going to have this: LCDPS (Lowest common denominator porn surfer)
Dial-Up Connection with AOL <a href="http://webmaster.info.aol.com/index.cfm?article=500000000000035&expand=0&sitenum =2&menuid=52">images will be blurred, aol graphics default.</a>
15-17 Inch Monitor (standard on all new systems)
Resolution of 800x600 or 640x480
So with those in mind for a gallery/site
Max width of page elements should be no more than 600 pixels wide. 590 to be safe. (Almost no one will scoll sideways.)
Most important shit goes in the top 400 Pixels. (Lots of people don't like or know to scoll down)
Thumbnail images should be compressed to the smallest size possible while still retaining an acceptable look. Adobe ImageReady works well for this. (other progs may work better)
No uneeded elements, (big backgrounds, distracting animations) anything that will make the visitor wait more that 10 seconds before they see some porn
Did I forget anything?
