awaiting your reply's

I am going to have to say no.

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

so it is only the processor that will slow this down?

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.

he is having my old graphics card nVidia GeForce 7300GT (512mb)
and it says the mobo is a Asus P5G41C-M

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!
