Unless you've got unlimited disk space, you'll probably want to keep the scans
around 300dpi; anything more than that, and you will see bloating of the file

Funny you should mention that...  The computer is a dedicated scanning computer

fine for the images, but the moire makes it look horrible...  I had hoped there
might be a resolution that the moire disappears, at which point I could
resample it down to a reasonable resolution and post it...

less/unnoticable?  Also, what dpi would everyone like to see the posters
