My setup at work is similar:

Server: Dell PowerEdge 1550 dual 1Ghz PIII
RAM: 4GB
Users: ~200 mix of IMAP and POP3
Auth: passwd/shadow
Maildir size: ~2GB  (I have fairly low filesystem quotas setup)
Dovecot version: 0.99.14 (waiting for the opportunity to test out 1.0
before migrating)
Client Software: Thunderbird, Becky!, Squirrelmail, possibly others

I'm also running sendmail/mimdefang/spamassassin/clamav on this machine.
