That's just about what I bought recently. (I did get 1G memory though)
and I get about 50 fps in big cities.

Trace,

Get more RAM. At least double it.

It will run FS2004 OK Trace, but don't feel you have to have 30 fps. Most
people get along fine with 20 as the max setting. I find that even when the
weather and complex scenery takes me down to 12 fps or so, I am still flying
OK and enjoying the sim. So the best of luck. It looks like a good machine
there. But yes, get some more RAM, you won't regret the extra bit of
expense. The paper round should cover it!
