Apache and apache2 memory configuration

Hi all,

I have the following question.

We have a mailserver running and at the moment it runs apache, the server
has webmail and also pop3 and imap.
The question is regarding memory usage. The server has about 2000 users
stored in Mysql. It would be great to have constant support of 256 or 512
users.
The main question: How much memory does the system need? Is there a way to
calculate the memory which is neceserry for the system?
I know you can limit the memoryusage of apache. But how to calculate this?
The webmail software is written in php4 (http://squirrelmail.org/about.php).

Thanx in advance,

With kind regards,

Robert
