    72 DPI approximates 800 by 600 resolution on a CRT 15" monitor, the optimal resolution for most of these monitors.

    96 DPI approximates 1024 by 768 resolution on the same monitor.

    72 DPI does matter with some applications—try importing different resultion jpgs into flash, it'll resize them, assuming 72 is 100% (hence, higher resolutions will become smaller on screen and vice-versa).
