Usually, CPU speed is the deciding factor. In the rare case where the RAM is not big enough to hold the entire network with all vehicles inside at the same time, hard disk swapping takes the most time. In this case more RAM (up to 3GB) is needed. With the multi-thread capability of VISSIM (starting from version 5.10) you can expect a speed increase if you use multi-core-/multi-processor PCs.
