Need help optimizing for web

I have some images that has been used for print and now they need to go on the web and I need them to be around 800 - 1000 px wide.
For instance is one image an .eps file with the dimensions 980x600px at a resolution of 300. If I save it as a .jpg with quality set to 8 out of 12 I get a file size of about 600K.
If I have resample on and set the resolution to 72 I get an acceptable file size of 50K but the dimensions go down to 242x138 which is way to small.
If I have resample off and I set the resolution to 72 it doesn't do anything with the file size. It is still 600K which is way too big for the web.

Is there a way to get the images to stay at around 800-1000px and stil reduce the file size to no more than 100K per image?
 
I recently worked on a couple of Diagrams I had made on illustrator and when exporting them as a PNG their sizes were massive. I was having a tough time exporting it in Illustrator as if I compressed it i had loss in equality etc.

So since I needed the diagram for the Web as well, I opened the files in Photoshop and selected "Save For Web" and saved it that way. I accordingly reduced the dimensions.

But well, as far as I know, you will have to reduce the dimensions to get the file size to reduce, and if you compress it, you'll just end up losing out on image quality - that's what I have noticed so far after looking around all over the place to try and find a way to reduce the file size while maintaining the quality and dimensions.
