Will this Toshiba laptop be good for me?

Im looking to buy Newegg.com - TOSHIBA Satellite L305-S5907 NoteBook Intel Pentium dual-core T3200(2.00GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA 4GB Memory DDR2 800 320GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi Intel GMA 4500M - Laptops / Notebooks and was wondering if I would be able to play WoW decently without lagging too much( maybe a little counter strike 1.6 aswell) but mainly playing World of Warcraft. I also use it for everyday web surfing and talking, I also enjoy having multiple tabs open at once such as internet, msn, and aim. Will this lap top be good for me? Its the perfect price for me but im not sure about the specs.

TOSHIBA Satellite L305-S5907 NoteBook Intel Pentium dual-core T3200(2.00GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA 4GB Memory DDR2 800 320GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi Intel GMA 4500M - Retail

Thank you!

You might want to wait longer then 20mins for a response.
It's against the terms of service to bump your thread like that..

And your link doesn't work, so it's hard for us to give any advice.

EDIT:
But with the specs you posted, that lappy has onboard video. If you plan to do any gaming, you DON'T want onboard video.

My apologies, let me find a working link. I dont think WoW is a very graphic intensive game so some people told me I would be fine... im looking to buy a pretty cheap one for light playing of WoW and mainly MSN and internet.

Newegg.com - TOSHIBA Satellite L305-S5907 NoteBook Intel Pentium dual-core T3200(2.00GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA 4GB Memory DDR2 800 320GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi Intel GMA 4500M - Laptops / Notebooks

Ok.
Well here's the deal. Really, for ~$700, I don't think your really gonna find anything better. The cheapest lappy I found on egg with a dedicated graphics card is $799.

I understand WoW isn't the most graphically intensive game out there, so I guess you might be able to get by with onboard video. But really it's well worth it to step up to something like:
Newegg.com - Acer Aspire AS6930-6560 NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo T5800(2.00GHz) 16" Wide XGA 4GB Memory 320GB HDD DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GS - Laptops / Notebooks
