It's totally irrelevant unless you're sending the image to a print shop, in which case the dpi will be encoded in the file. It's used by printers to squeeze higher res from the inherently grainy 4 colour process.
72dpi is the default size for on screen use, since it corresponds more or less to most CRT monitors. AFAIK, TFT monitors have a somewhat different res but not by much.
In short, rendering at 300 dpi ain't really going to give you a higher quality image, just smaller than you think if you have it printed.
