Barely enough. Textures will take a while to load if you move from one house to another or one part of the city to another. So objects will look blank white for a few seconds while the textures load using the limited memory. Also frame rate will be lower, maybe around 20 to 30 fps, depending on your other pc specs. But it is playable.
If you have more than one hard drive on your pc I'd look around the web on setting up a pagefile memory split across both hard drives.' And possibly installing Sims 3 on the hard drive that doesn't contain Vista.
Edit: To give you a feeling on pc specs, this runs Sims 3 for me on medium settings:
Athlon64 3.0 Ghz cpu
Asus K8v motherboard
1 Gb Ram ddr memory
x1950 pro 256 Gb Radeon video card
75 Gb hard drive, 200 Gb hard drive
Vista operating system
