You might want to consider a small pattern that will just repeat, for three reasons:

1. It's less busy. An actual picture in the background will attact more attention than your content.
2. A full-sized picture will take a long time to load, especially on a dialup connection.
3. There's no standard size you can pick. Most users have a resolution of 1024x768, but some (such as me) might have 1280x1024, 1280x960, 1600x1200, or some other weird resolutions, especially if they are on a laptop with a wide-screen display.
