Sometimes, its tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements merely by looking at technical specs. The visual here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1000D and 300D.

As you have seen, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Canon 1000D to resolve more detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The newer 1000D should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
