New screens have more than 72 ppi. Over 100 usually. That determines how BIG the picture will be viewed.
Anyway, save an 800 pixel image at 72 dpi and another at 300 dpi, and upload them both to the web. They'll both be exactly the same size.
Only the print view changes. Actual pixel view stays the same.
BTW I didn't come here to make anyone feel bad. Just to clear up some online fallacies. We all have some bad "crumbs" floating around our heads. The net is full of them.

Just trying to understand better Mathhew. I save my edited PSD as a jpeg, which I then "save for the web" (CS5) by setting the resolution at 72ppi. It produces a very small file that displays as large as PT allows, with minimal scrolling for the enlarged size. Seems to work, and is simple;)
