It will probably be borderline. Not sure which Athlon you have, but the card is probably not that great. I downloaded the FSX demo to my Dell Inspiron 530 - it ran okay once I installed a Radeon HD 4550 card, but so far I haven't seen enough of a leap to justify ditching FS2-004 for the full FSX. If you've got the quad-core Athlon you'll have an advantage for gaming in general and likely for FSX specifically, and a card like the 4550 can be had for under $50.



You will however need a 300 watt power supply for even that card, which is actually pretty conservative for a PSU. Gaming cards tend to need upwards of 400 watts, and your system seems to have only a 250 watt power supply.



My suggestion - unless you've already gotten FSX or used it on a higher end system, I'd suggest just getting FS2004. When played on lower- end systems, an edition of FS will always look like a slower-running version of the previous ed. of FS. FS has a pretty robust support community with tons of downloads available for free.
