Sometime ago I remember using Kodachrome 64 with great success although at times frustrating as the camera always had to be tripod mounted.

Can the results be obtained today using a camera with a sensitive CCD(8-10 megapixels) and ISO 100 which are comparable to Kodachrome or Velvia of the past?

I am investigating DSLRs for a friend and probably at some point buy one myself. Many Thanxs

An 8 to 10 MP dSLR can match Kodachrome and Velvia for dynamic range and low noise, but not quite for resolution. It's a marginal difference however, and if you plan to project your images from a laptop, the video card / projector will be the bottleneck, not the camera.
Programs like Photoshop offer hundreds of tools to tweak your digital images. Plug-ins for Photoshop even offer predefined (digital) filters that let you emulate the feel of various traditional films at the press of a button. This advanced software isn't cheap though.
Here's some before/ after samples for an idea of what's possible:
