I am going to have to say no.

It is awfully old technology.  It is only a dual core chip running at 2.5GHz.

It does not mention graphics and it does not tell you what motherboard is being used.  I am betting that it has onboard graphics and that also is terrible.

To run FSX I would not buy it, I think you would be real disappointed in the way it runs FSX.

Well for starters, it will run FSX but not without problems & not with decent quality & detail.

This rig at best will run at low/medium settings, major blurries and serious stuttering since that is a low quality CPU.

FSX is heavy on the CPU, I struggled running FSX with a AMD Dual (6000+ @ 3ghz) Black Edition. I can only imagine what this Celeron Dual will do.

Running FSX with such a system will just frustrate him. He will be better off using FS9 if he chooses the rig.

Goodluck!
