I clearly remember seeing Dimensions column in Finder to show image dimensions (width x height) but I can't find it now.
Does anyone know how to show this column?

In column view in the Finder, you can resize columns by positioning the mouse pointer over over the thin line that separates column panes, and dragging it to the left to make it narrower or to the right to make it wider.
To make the Finder remember the new width, hold down the option key(⌥) while dragging the pane separator to the desired width.
The best documentation I can find on this from Apple alludes to the fact that holding down option resizes "all columns at once" but does not explicitly say that this makes the change persistent.
I'm not sure about 10.6, but on 10.7 the dimensions are shown in information panels:

When in icon view, you can use "Show item info" under view options just as user6124 described.
Column view, however, prefers to show as much of the current file tree path as possible at the price of extra info. You can enable the preview column from view options to show a preview of the selected image along with some basic information (including pixel dimensions) in the rightmost column.
The preview column only shows the info for the selected file (just one).
In list and cover flow views you can add more info columns to the list by right–clicking the list's titlebar and choose the extra data you want to see:
NOTE: The list of extra columns is relative to the folder's location. In order to get the dimensions available, the folder in question has to reside somewhere under
~/Pictures/. (Under~/Music/you could choose e.g. artist or album and under~/Movies/you could choose length or codecs and so on…)
