i would say it will be lag as hell although the video card is ok.
1st, ram is too low.
2nd, what is the CPU speed.

I suggest you read up on the 7300 TurboCache...it's better than standard onboard video but it's still not great for gaming.

the MT32 is 1.8ghz which is fine. AMD rates their cpu's diff then intels the 32 means it will equal that of a pentium 4m mobile chip at 3.2ghz, but considering intel doesn't make a mobile chip that is based on the pentium 4m mobile that fast then we will never know for sure if it could or not.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ OC 2.7ghz
2GB Dual Channel DDR 3200
Nvidia 7900GT
SATA II 2x 200gig 7200rpm 16mb cache RAID-0
Gigabyte Nforce 4 SLI

Well, if $1,000 - $1,200 is your budget, which is a little low for a good gaming laptop, I suggest checking ibuypower.com.
I'm not 100% sure about their laptops, but I know they sell solid gaming PCs that are very affordable, so you could see if their laptops run as low. If not, it's time to do some research. A lot of the lesser-known PC vendors run cheaper because they don't advertise as much.
Another option is to be patient and check up on Dell occasionally. It's not the greatest, in my opinion, but they have new deals nearly everyday.
