Im not sure I would go with a background image that large.  It is going to kill 
bandwidth, page loading speed and your sites overall performance.   Unless the 
background is the "make it" or "break it" feature of your site I would explore 
other design options.  Also, if it is just a gradient, you could use CSS3 
gradients.  Here is an example using back and white. 

background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #000000 0%, #ffffff 100%); /*For Fire-fox 
3.6+ */

background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, 
color-stop(0%,#000000), color-stop(100%,#ffffff)); /* for Chrome and Safari4+ */

background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #000000 0%,#ffffff 100%); /* Chrome10+ 
and Safari5.1+ */

background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #000000 0%,#ffffff 100%); /* for 
Opera11.10+ */

background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #000000 0%,#ffffff 100%); /* for IE10+ */

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#000000', 
endColorstr='#ffffff',GradientType=0 ); /* for IE6-9 */

background: linear-gradient(top, #000000 0%,#ffffff 100%);
