The few times I've dealt with older PowerPoint systems, I found GIF
files worked best. PowerPoint would display all images regardless of
system capabilities or original image color depth as 256 color images.
If you carefully convert to indexed color in Photoshop (do it via the
Save for Web function) you can get nice natural looking 256 (or less)
color images. If you place a full 24bit TIFF you get PowerPoint's
default conversion to indexed color... which depending on subject
matter could look really bad. Using GIFs also has the advantage of
keeping the overall size of the presentation down and makes a large
presentation with lots of images more manageable.
