will this laptop be able to drive MSFS 2004/2 at all?

i dont expect stellar performance
(ie id be happy to set detail sliders down but id like decent framerates so the i dont do little 'time warps' everytime the stupid thing stutters ....)

any advice on what sort of frame rates i could reasonable expect from this setup would be greatly apreciated!!

(ive picked this because ive been offered this for an absolute bargain)

thank you!!

Even with my $1,600 laptop, the sim makes my laptop work overtime. You clearly hear the fan motor reving up like a Mustang.

With integrated gfx, don't expect great performence at high detail, but it should run fs2004 at decent frame rates at lower settings.
