Here's the distribution of RSA key sizes in SSL servers, as
recorded by my SSL server survey in June 2000 and June 2001

RSA Server Key size
   Key bits                    2000         2001
2048                             .2%             .2%
1024                           70%             80%
>= 1000                         2%               .7%
>= 768                          2%               1%
>512                             -               0%
<= 512                          25%             17%
