Slide resolution in PP 2003 slide shows

I am wondering if there is any advantage or disadvantage to putting high
resolution slides into a PP show. I know a computer screen only shows 72 dpi
and a projector will show a little more. Any other considerations?
 
Large file size will adversely affect effects in some machines.

Full page print-out resolution is the only benefit to storing higher
resolution pictures. Even then, anything over 200 dpi is a waste of memory.

High resolution pictures will make your file size become BIG! For PPT 2003 a
size of 1500x1130 Pixel at a resolution of 150 dpi will fill a slide and
produce fairly good print quality for handouts. I prefer PNG files over JPG
because they have lossless compression and PowerPoint uses this format
internally, AFAIK.

If you don't want to reduce the file size of your pictures in a picture
editing program, you can also use the Compress Picture button in PowerPoint.

Kind regards,
