You have more or less my very own configuration (sole difference, mine is an Athlon 62 X2 6000 dual core at 3.1Ghz) and FSX, once you tell it you have a second core you'd like it to use as well, works well enough... for small and/or simple planes, midrange scenery complexity level and low to average default AI density.
If you desire a superior AI density and/or the use of more complex airplanes than simple ones, FSX is not for you. Not without slow downs.
And do not forget the legendary (in)stability issues of this version of FS.
Renouncing a little under the glamor of the graphics, you can always go to FS9. Once you pimp its graphics up, even only with freeware add-on, it can keep up with medium graphics FSX BUT resulting a lot lighter on the rig, not to add way more stable, than FSX so you can use all kind of planes AND all settings of add-on AI with no appreciable slow-down.

There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.
