I have a site with a similar number of users and applications running a
gnome desktop, evolution, openoffice, firefox etc. These are all quite
heavy applications. For a case like this, I would say a good start could
be 20 gigabytes of RAM and 4 CPU's.

It very much depends on what applications are being used, and how heavy
the use is. For light use you could easily run this with half the
resources, for example, but you would start running out of RAM quite
quickly if many users were running applications at the same time.

In my experience RAM is usually the bottleneck, not CPU. A lot of recent
software like gnome, openoffice etc. needs huge amounts of RAM.
