It'll run, but it won't run too well. Frame rates will be similar the 5200 Go and the Mobility 9200. Image quality will be similar. No hardware shader support and no FSAA. The 64 MB is the only really good feature of that notebook, since WoW works much better with 64 than it does with just 32.

If you really want to play WoW on a notebook, look for at least a 9600 Mobility w/ 64 MB. That combination plays current games quite well, although not as good as an X800 Mobility or 6800 Go, obviously.

As for that notebook, I don't know what it's worth, but don't pay much. 1.7 GHz is slow for a P4 and even slower for the Mobile P4-M. Probably on par with a 1.2 GHz P3 or 1.2 GHz Centrino Pentium M.

Umm, Intel demonstrated Sonoma platform's integrated graphics(Intel GMA900) on World of Warcraft and from the pic it looked like 800x600 and it ran pretty well, it did lag on certain situations. You should get better video card as the integrated is similar to the GFMX440. Or you might as well save money and get the integrated using the new Centrinos.
