I went that route myself. Tried the demo, had fun with the little mini-missions, then took my $100 gift card from Best Buy and sprang for a little present for myself - FSX Deluxe. I find that I can run it, but it's not super-impressive at this time. My machine can't be cranked up on all the graphic settings. The lower settings aren't as cool as the higher ones (I tried turning them all the way up, but the lag was unbearable/unplayable), but still functional.
FWIW, I'm running an Athelon 3200+, 2.2Gb processor, 512k ram with integrated (gag!) graphics at 64k.

Your CPU is on the low side (for FSX) you need much more memory and that card disappeared years ago.
Bump up your ram and get a good AGP card, I'm sure you don't have a slot on your board for a PCIe but hopefully you have one for the AGP.

Yup, she's not doing anything impressive at all with FSX other than running it. It's a shame, this machine did everything I needed and then some when I bought it... four years ago! 😂
When the budget allows, the machine is either being replaced with something much faster/newer, or upgraded to at least run a little better with newer programs. Wife and I have already gone over upgrades. RAM as we can, and any sort of card to get the graphics off the main board.

My suggestion Kohnen if you're serious about FSX, don't waste your money on upgrading your PC. Wait a little longer until your Angel Wife (and I mean that with all due respect) agrees that the budget is right for a new rig.
You'll be saving money this way in the long run 😀
