What resolution are you going to run it at? I get 7FPS (flyable, but stuttery) in full screen at the 1680x1050 native resolution of my widesccreen monitor. That jumps up to 20FPS or so if I run it in a 1/4 screen window. Your biggest impact is going to be whether you max-out autogen scenery. Auto-gen is a resource HOG.

On my system:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz
NVIDIA 8600GTS 512mb
2Gb DDR2 800 RAM
Vista 32bit
I usually can get around 40, but lock it at 30. So you'd probably see around 50 maybe?

I get about 7-10 on the ground taxi at max sliders with payware aircraft. Jumps to about 30-50 in air. This is with FSX deluxe and LDS 767 or Wilco 777.
Running AMD 64X2 4400
2GB DDR2
8800GTS OC 512GDDR3
Vista 32bit
1400x900 resolution.
I also run Active sky X bundle behind it with FSCommander and FSINN dual screen on the same computer.
Not worth it though. Tone down the settings a tad, get comparable scenery (Still better than fs9) and run a great glitch free flight.

2 things are key here. Having at least a dual core and the best memory card you can afford.

FPS fps, FPS if you get 10 on the ground Sliders maxed, and the sim is not jerky, but smooth throughout the whole time, then you have found the sweet spot in FSX. I have been running FSX for quite some time now, add on this that and the other things, and get ten on the ground comfortably, with no stutters. Q6700, clocked at 2.72, 4G PC8500 4-4-4-12-1T, 8800GTX . 1650x1050 res.
Key thin with FSX and if you don't believe me read this http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1205673302#14 http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1163028653/0#5 and this http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1197423715
key thing to remember, FPS is not the key ingredient here, it is finding a Sweet spot to enjoy the sim, not make it do something that it wont do with components in your system that it wont handle, Anyone that tell you that they are getting 50 or so more FPS with there sliders at max, either 1) Have the cash to buy nothing but the best components out there today. 2) talk the good talk and walk the walk. or 3) got those frames with the sliders not maxed out. You can go on and on with FSX and Frames, yes they do mean something to an extent, 2FPS with the sliders maxed are going to give you stutters no doubt, but at 10 and on the ground and LOCKED at 20 in the air will give you a much more enjoyable experiance within the sim. The Human eye can only decipher 30 at best. So why spend the extra cycles taxing the CPU and GPU to render them??
Dig around on those links, and you will have to take the time and try, and i am sure you will enjoy the sim in a whole new way Sorry for ranting on like that

I agree with Anthony. I don't believe at all people that say they have FSX maxed and still get 50+ FPS. If you start to talk with them and get into details, you find out that nothing they say is true. Even so, it's hard to believe that even the best of the best components right now can do this.
I've been using FSX, Vista Ultimate 32bit for some time. Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 @ 2.33GHz, ATI Radeon 3870 512MB, 2 GB RAM DDR2, 1280x1024 resolution. FSX maxed out (without car and boat traffic, without advanced animations and without building shadows -- these settings are very performance consuming), Anisotropic Filtering and Anti-Aliasing enabled. With the LDS767, Active Sky X, X Graphics and FSGenesis mesh I still get 10-14 FPS on the ground in high-density areas. In add-on scenery areas (FSX London Heathrow from Aerosoft), I get 7-8 frames on the ground. I'm planning on upgrading to an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 in the next few weeks.
The key here is to find the best setting (the Sweet Spot, sounds better ) that still gets you 10FPS. You have a better system than me and, as said above I run FSX maxed, so you should, too. Here are some articles http://www.fsinsider.com/tips/Pages/What'sYourFrameRate-PartI.aspx http://www.fsinsider.com/tips/Pages/What%27sYourFrameRate-PartII.aspx and http://www.fsinsider.com/tips/Pages/OptimizingVisualsAndPerformance.aspx
One last thing I want to add is that you should defrag your computer not one time a day, but 1 time every 2 weeks will be good. Defrag,
defrag!
Get some time and take a deeper look in everything we suggested and you will be amazed.
