My FX5200 Go (yeah I know it sux0rs) plays HL2 just fine at 800x600 with medium settings. Turning them to high doesn't change the video quality noticeably unless you're really looking for it.

MGS3 is pretty damn sweet. If you liked MGS2 you will love MGS3. It's got this sort of 1960's James Bond kind of cinematic feel to it. Pretty neat. And as usual, there are plenty of jokes and oddities that come standard with the series.
