Andy,
It will run "ok" but if you get expansion packs, do downloads, and build huge beautiful houses, have big families or parties on your lots, and run your system with high level graphic detail, system will run slower. And may take more than a minute or two to load as you get more advanced in your games.
You can test your machine here

You'll note that the passing levels change with the more advanced expansion packs. I have two machines that pass the first test (The Sims2) with all greens but which start to run slower unless reduce the level of graphics in the game. One of my machines will not be able to run OFB.
The free trial that they do have for Sims 2 PC is the Sim creator module. You can get it here if you want to try something out now:

Good luck!

thesims2.com will tell you the system requirements. These are the requirements:
If you have a T&L capable video card with at least 32 MB of video RAM then you need at least:
800 MHz processor or better
256 MB RAM if Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows 98 or Windows 2000
At least 3.5 GB of hard drive space
If you have a non-T&L capable video card (an Intel Extreme Graphics or a Radeon 7000/VE Series) then you need at least:
2.0 GHz processor or better
256 MB RAM if Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows 98, or Windows 2000
At least 3.5 GB of hard drive space
Get the most current driver for your video card. The manufacturers usually have the video drivers on their sites for you to download. Visit the nVidia site, the ATI site or the support site for your computer's manufacturer for the latest drivers for those video cards.
