Yep. That’s enough for basic work. (It’s close to what I have on my lap right now.)
Don’t expect screamingly fast renders, and don’t try to use Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing for any but the simplest compositions.

Todd won’t that be rather slow? Shouldn’t he try and get a dedicated graphics card. The graphics card on that spec will take ram from the central CPU rather than using it’s own dedicated ram.
You will probably get a lot better for you money. I have a T6600 dual 2 core with 4gigs ram and a ati radeon HD 4570 (albeit with a 15inch screen) and cost me just shy of £500.
