Find out what graphics card you have. Search Device Manager on your computer and click the + symbol next to Display Adapters. It looks OK but you will see a real significant rise in FPS if you upgrade RAM to 3-4gbs. Looks up your computer model online and look up your mobo to see what's the highest speed you can upgrade to.

up to 30FPS that looks like this?

Your specs are weak for high scenery levels and sharp details on solid frames

Minimum should be Core2 3.0 (Quad preferred) on the 8800GT and 2GB of memory in Windows XP, 3 in Vista however 4 is best for both

For FSX, no. It should run FS9 to a decent level (especially if you add another 1Gb of RAM).
