MMOs are not a current-technology level softwares. They are for almost any old clunker made over the last 4-5 years. FS-X is not a cheap MMO at all. There is no comparison. On the other hand, if you had a computer of basically the same performance level, but based on an AMD/ ATI Chipset instead, the video built into it would at least "try" to run FS-X, which TTBOMK, that Intel trash cannot even manage to get close to doing (the Xpress chip also won't have any onboard RAM of its own, but the game's launcher is less likely to learn that fact than in the case of the cheap Intel crap.

Even easier than that, go to this next link, and click on "Game Advisor" and let it test your system for you. You will need to use IE, if you ahve been using an alternate browser.
