Yes it will run those games.

An Athlon 64 3000+ is defintely not too low a speed.

If you want to upgrade the processor in the future, then yes, as AMD are only producing new s939's and s754 is essentially dead as a platform in terms of future upgrades. Also, you need to stop concentrating on clock speed, it means pretty much nothing.

Well my AMD Athlon 2600 runs at 2.1 Ghz, so how the hell can the AMD 64 3000 run at 1.8ghz? Or have i misread somewhere :

1.8ghz is the clock speed, not the processor speed.
