that enough for WoW...right now i still have the crappy onboard on my GM5442 gateway computer...just looking for something in the 80-100$ range to allow me to play w/out the screen blacking out and display driver stop responding all the time.

The link appears to not work. It is a PCI-E or an AGP card? Either way, I'd recommend you take the 7600 GS, which is right in your price range anyhow, it's much more faster than the 7300 GT, which is basically an onboard card anyway. The 7300 still takes system memory and hogs alot of motherboard communication bandwidth that should be devoted to other systems, just like onboard does, barely any difference or improvement. The 7600 GS is a full self sufficient card with its own memory banks built in, and has a more advanced core with more pipelines. It's barely any more and it does much better in comparison.

It should be noted that dispite the 7300 having a newer generation number than the 6600, the 6600 was priced much higher at entry compared to the 7300. The 7300 delivers inferior performance and is a low end part, in reality the 7300 is just above the 6200 and well below the 6600 GT or the 6600 plain. The 6600Gt was one of the best gaming cards of it's time, and still remains a solid performer. The 7300 was designed for computers that didn't have onboard motherboard graphics, but the users needed any old output for thier monitor, commonly used in office computers; as such, the 7300 is not targetted at gamers and is greatly inferior in the gaming field to a 6600 GT.
