Changing the resolution won't affect the pixel size ... a 2000 x 2000 image is still 2000 x 2000, regardless of what the resolution is.
On the other hand, an 8" x 10" image at 150 DPI is 1200 x 1500, whereas at 300 DPI it is 2400 x 3000.
The only time you should be concerned with resolution is if you are going to have it printed. In that case, you find out the resolution of the printer, and set Poser to match that. Then, multiply the size of your print (8 x 10 inches for example) and multiply it by your target resolution to get your pixel size.
Hope that helps. PS - 72 DPI is equal to one inch on a standard 14" PC computer monitor (I think it's 75 on Macs). 150 DPI is about what a fax would require. 300 DPI is what most inkjet printers use. 600 DPI and up are usually for prosumer and professional printers.
