Question to the PC experts

I want to get the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 for the PC. Old game yes, but since my PC is not set up as a gaming PC, I don't know if I can run even that older version of the game on my current PC. This is what I need to have:

PC Processor Speed 450MHz
PC Operating System Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me), Windows XP
PC System Memory 64MB RAM (Windows 98/Me), 128MB RAM (Windows 2000/XP)
PC Hard Drive Space 1.8GB
PC Video 8MB DirectX 9.0 video card

What I have:
Processor speed - 2.20 GHz
Vista is my OS
3.00 GB RAM
I know I have plenty of HD space
I have a NVIDIA GeForce 7050/NVIDIA nForce620i for my video card.

As far as I can tell, Im good everywhere but the Video card. Will my video card be able to run it? Or is the DirectX 9.0 a driver/software I can install so I can run the game with my current video card? For most of you guys who are computer whiz', can you please look at this and tell me if I can run it? Id hate to spend money on this game (when I decided I really wanted it on a whim) and then not be able to use it out of the box because I have to go buy yet another video card.

Can anybody help me?

Just head on over to this website:

http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/

Then select the game you want to check and click “Can You Run It?”

It'll benchmark your PC and tell you if you can run said game.

(Closest I could find was Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century Of Flight - not sure if it's the same game).
