If it runs Windows (via bootcamp) it should be possible. Not sure about the performance, that will depend on your Mac hardware.

Under OS X it won't run.

my imac pc description will be as follow:

Specifications

1GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM - 1x1GB
320GB Serial ATA Drive
SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Apple Mighty Mouse
Keyboard (English) + Mac OS X (English)
2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB memory

Is that going to be fine?

The hardware will be OK, however 1GB will hold you back. 2GB would be better.

I use FSX on a Mac Pro with bootcamp and Widnows XP. It works better on this than on any PC I have played it on. I LOVE IT!!! HA!!! Although I tried and hate XPlane for Mac. I absolutely hate it.

With a passion.
