    Okay um Please do not compliment about how sucky my laptop is. I know it sucks. I would not consider this my gaming computer.

    My question is...Will i be able to play FSX acceleration with an Integrated Card?
    My laptop is:
    # AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TK-55
    # Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium
    # 15.4" WXGA High-Definition BrightView Widescreen (1280 x 800)
    800) Display
    # NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M (UMA) with up to 559MB Total Available
    Available Graphics Memory
    # 2048MB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
    # 120GB (5400RP) Hard Drive (SATA)

    Please reply if it is good ENOUGH for flight simulator X or 2004 Thank you.

    yes you can, probably 1-2fps. even my overclocked 8800m GTX is struggling with that game.
    for FS2004, maybe 2-3fps.

    you can adjust the sensitivity, but keyboard is highly unrecommended, nearly impossible to land.

    Fs2004 2-3 fps??? Come on nirvana it ran at 20-30(max) on my desktop when it was only equipped with a [email protected], 512mb and a gf4 mx440 (glorified gf2 gts)... I also got a solid 30fps on my cousin's xpress 200m.

    To the OP: forget about fsx, you should be perfectly fine with fs2004, the aircrafts and scenery library on the net is immense. Just don't forget to look for guideson how to tweak your fs9.cfg as doing so will greatly incease your performances.

    Not a chance. Just stick with FS2004.

    at least go back to flight simulator 2004. you might even want to try flight gear. it will probably run a lot better on your system (and its free)
