Don't projections have resultant super-low-dpi? The size of each pixel 
is huge when projected on a large screen. :)

Anyway, anything above the scanner's optical resolution is a waste
of space. It's probably better to scan it at the highest optical 
resolution (600dpi for most modern ones) and change the resolution
later if you want via photoshop or whatever. You'll get the same
image quality, if not better.
