Im sorry if this is in the wrong forum section but,

if i got a Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 CPU 4400 @ 2.00 ghz could i play games that require 3 ghz since its 2 computers with 2 ghz each?

It's in the wrong section. I'm pretty sure that if you have background applications closed, then the 2 cores could increase performance.

The answer really depends on how the games are made. If it's a modern game by a big studio then, yes, probably.

First off, i think you should understand something
The Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 CPU 4400 @ 2.00 ghz is only the processing unit of ONE computer (one part of one computer)

Intel's core 2 duo line of CPUs (processors) was released a few years back and is still considered fairly recent. Most current games are able to take advantage of the 2 cores that the one processor contains to split the workload.
I hope this sort of clarified your confusion.

Pretty much. Also, there's the cache part. For example, TF2 requires a 3ghz Pentium 4, which has about 512kb of cache. I have a 2.4ghz C2Q with 8mb of cache, I run it just fine. The more cache you have, the less ghz should matter if it's requiring old tech, and you have new tech.
