Low or medium settings, depending on the resolution. You'll want a quad core processor if you wish to increase the vehicle AI. As far as graphics card goes, it doesn't have to be especially powerful (the equivalent of an 8800GT/G92 core), but the high-res textures enabled at the max texture setting is a real VRAM hog (over 1.5GB of VRAM required to power the max settings at high resolutions). Also, the reflection resolution, shadows, and water do still hit the VRAM hard; you'll want to manually configure each of the settings with the 1.0.2.0 patch.

You can use the -availablevidmem commandline trick, but you'll be stressing your physical RAM capacity; GTA IV on its own takes up over 1GB, on top of the extra RAM you are allocating for textures and graphics-related processing.

Edit: I never said the 8600GT was a good card; I stated that generally, an NVIDIA G92-based graphics card is about the relative processing horsepower needed to render the game.

To be honest, GTA IV isn't that great of a game, especially when it won't run smoothly on your PC.
I've got an E8400@over 4GHz and an overclocked HD 4850, and I dipped below 30fps, so I dropped the game and went out to pick up Fallout 3 (which can easily be maxed out by my setup and it the better game of the two.

GTA IV is like the Crysis of 2 years ago
Almost no PC can play it on high
But the HD4850 is a great
