Dell 700m: how does it handle last generation 3D games (ex. warcraft 3)?

Of course, I dont plan on playing BF2 on a 700m, but how does it play older 3d games? I play warcraft 3 mostly.
 
Intel integrated "Extreme" graphics is a marginal solution for 3D gaming...even the more basic games. I while I don't play warcraft, I would expect its demands to be somewhere between Starcraft & C&C Generals. It would do just fine on any older game such as Starcraft. I just can't imagine this being a solution that will bring you satifsfactory gaming. My guess is you would have to play it on a reduced graphics setting thus pretty much trashing all the eye candy.
 
I have a 700M and it can play some games pretty well. UT2004 plays okay. I've even played Half Life 2 on it. WC3 is a fairly old game and it should run just fine. You may not be able to run at high rez and high quality but it should run.
 
WC3 runs fine on my old MX420 so I would think that the Intel solution would be almost as good.
