Appropriate Image Sizes

Whilst applying textures to a model in 3DS Max, I'm aware that there is a rule which determines the appropriate size of the image.
e.g.: I know 16x16 would work, or 128x128
My question is this: How do I figure out an appropriate size?

1x2= 2
2x2= 4
4x2= 8
8x2= 16
16x2= 32
32x2= 64
64x2= 128
128x2= 256
256x2= 512
512x2= 1024
1024x2= 2048
And so on....

They have to be a power of 2.
So yes, it can be one. 2^0=1

Lots of reasons. Want something in the background to just be black? 1 pixel can do the job.
