That card is not going to give very good graphics but it would probably run Flight Simulator 2004 not sure about X though.

That card is an AGP card, does your computer not support PCI Express. (Does it have a black socket above the white PCI sockets on the motherboard?)

Also, what are the rest of the specs of your current computer?

Then we can recommend you some good cards.

This is a better AGP slot based card.
