The screen sizes were the maximum resolutions of the older display technology.
640*480 was the original VGA and the 800*600 was the upgraded XVGA. Website images are generally 640*480 range with the option to click for full size. Depending on the software being used, there may be multiple columns on the page and a larger image will be clipped. Also, many people __still__ do not enjoy full bandwidth for their internet connections (I am one of these poor sods) and a full-size image is not "polite" as it takes a large chunk of bandwidth to download before the person can see if it is of interest to them.
