You need a monster for this game.
Everything moves in that city. I have an Athlon 1900+ with a GeForce 3 and play it in 1200*1024.
And I must say, I do get lag when my city has some proportion. And saving the city is hell. It takes ages.

Here are the requirements for the game. But I think you can imagine that it would be a bit higher in reality.

System Requirements:

Windows 95/98/NT4SP6/2000/XP,
Minimum 500MHz Pentium III and a 8MB video card.
Recommended Pentium III and a 16MB video card.
Ideal Pentium 1GHz and GeForce4 16MB or better video card.
Keyboard,
Mouse

You would probably get a decent gamespeed on low resolutions, but it really kicks back in detail then. If you don' t zoom in all the time, it' s still bearable though.
