My very old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 is most of the time very, very quiet. I could get it quieter by changing HDD. But generally I am surprised how quiet it actually was.
That seems to be 690V chipset. Not too bad chipset. Many laptops have had worse but not too many laptops are ment for gaming. WoW is still pretty graphically demanding. Its all about what do you do for your laptop?
1Gb is plenty for most thing, my Toshiba has 394 MB ram. Still plenty ^^

Don't let others convince you that integrated graphics will "kill" your wife's WoW experience. I was very surprised that I was able to play WoW very decently on integrated graphics, having tried both nvidia 6150 and ati x1200.
Your wife's WoW-playing experience on this laptop will vary greatly depending on the machine she was previously using. If she played on an awesome gaming machine and all of WoW's bells and whistles were turned on and on high, then yes she'll be disappointed and will notice the slower frame rate especially in towns.
As others have said, 2 GB of RAM would be much better, partly because it's running Vista, partly because the integrated video will use some of that RAM as its memory.
