Do you max your anti-aliasing settings --- I have a more powerful machine (intel 7 cores, 1gb video card) + I notice some lagging with 8x anti-aliasing --- so I tend to set it at 4x when my citites get larger -- try that... Also make sure no other programs run in the background when you are playing the game.

    The only real fix for this is to save the city, go back to the planet, then re-enter the city. It should be fine for 15-60 minutes. This has always been an issue with this game.
