You might want to post this question on the e-commerce forum. You can sign up

My problems with frames as a user is that some sites have an over abundance 
of scroll bars needed to view data that could just as well have been on its 
own page.  Frames seem to be a way to cram 3-5 times as much information on a 
web page than anyone can view at one time, then offer scroll bars to get to 
it.

One nice thing I saw on a site recently "This web site is best viewed using a 
screen resolution of 800x600 or higher"
