Is this enough to run Flight Simulator X, with smooth and professional graphics? I'm running it on an Advent 7111 with 1024 MB memory and 1.6 Mhz Speed? Anyone?

sorry martin,theres not much you can do with a laptop graphics adapter,as they are limited in their capabilities
apart from the recommendations i described in the previous question(driver update,direct x update)your stuck on your options
however if your keen on this game and really want to play it as it should be played,why not invest in a budget p.c like the HP Presario SR1719 AMD 3400+ 512MB 200GB XP Home(http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx?Quicklinx=49C9&CategorySelectedId=11101&PageMode=1&NavigationKey=11101,14&InMerch=1),and then you can add a seperate graphics card such as the GeForce 8500GT 256MB GDDR3 PCIE (http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=4J0Z&CategorySelectedId=11137&NavigationKey=11137,4294954044)
ok mate,this may cost you(including te graphics card )just over £300,but you will have a good p.c with the latest 8 series graphics card the 8500gt,with direct x 10 compiant,and pixel and shader 4.0,basically mate you will be able to play the flight sim x at full detail and totally smooth graphics
i know it may seem a big outlay,but this is exactly what i did when i kept on getting games and they wouldnt play because of my previous systems specs,i thought,no i cant go on like this,and bought a budget p.c and just upgraded it ,bitt by bit,now i have 1.75gb of ram,and a 6600gt graphics card(upgrading to a 7600gs in a
few weeks)
you may be able to re-coup some money towards the p.c by selling your laptop,it sounds a good one,so you should be looking at around £250
good luck mate!

No, barely enough to run it on the badly on the very minium settings. You need a dedicated graphics card for FSimX but the rest of your system should be fine for it.
EDIT:You can buy either a asus XG station or and magma expressbox to improve the graphics on your laptop.

Intel snap shots are the worst interior the international. The Nvidia card might surely be an progression and could easily make it conceivable to do some gaming on your gadget. $2 hundred sounds fairly steep nevertheless.
