I am playing it on a 300 MHz AMD k62 with 96 megs of RAM and a Voodoo Banshee video card and I have little problems with choppiness.
Try:
Full install with plenty of room for a large chace size (Windows gets slow as % free spce gets smaller)
Very Large Cache Size ( I have a gig set aside for cahce size)
Lowering the search paths a bit (but I have found that anything below 12000 to be very annoying)
Turning off music (and sound effects if it gets that bad)
Not using 3d acceleration (since the only 3d in the game comes from spell effects)
Closing all running, uneeded programs (an anti-virus program is a good candidate)
Having more RAM always helps too.
