The following works on the Mac:

I routinely produce the images in 1024x768 pixels, and when importing into
PPT, I use Format -> Picture and scale the picture 71%. That seems to
maintain the original resolution of the picture when displaying in slide
mode (and works for any resolution, and also QT movies).

PS: 71% is ~ SQRT(2)/2 -- whatever that means :-)
