Sorry to be rude, but theres been like 50 of those questions, it's all a matter of opinion.

960mb ram?  thats a very odd number to have. From what i see i think you can run it, it may not look good, but you can probly run it. Also knowing the video card would help.

My guess is that there is no video card, and that 960mb is what's left over after the on-board video "steals" 64mb..

If that's the case... you MUST get a good video card.. and if your m/b doesn't support PCI-express, that complicates and limits your options..

That's an onboard video chipset (not a card). It's not even close to enough video processing power for FSX..

The good news is that there should be a 16X PCIexpress slot on a motherboard using that chipset.

So ,
