So if I do fewer pics I can make mine at 125px x 125px?
Yes, as a donating member you can go as big as 125 x 125 providing you stay under the 48.8 kilobytes. So if you're at 52 kilobytes, you can either dump a photo or shrink the size.

Quality has something to do with it too, but I haven't figured that out yet. If I save my images as "low" quality on my mac's iphoto, I can sometimes get more photos into a 125x125 pixel avatar. But "low" quality doesn't equal dpi, so I'm not sure what it means.
