Title: stupid laptop gaming question
Post by: Eel O'Brian on July 18, 2008, 06:50:01 PM

Can I install games and run them off one of those usb powered external hard drives?  These would be older games like Age of Mythology and the Fallout series.

cool, i knew you could do it with regular ac powered external HDDs, but i didn't know if the mini HDDs powered through that split usb cable would work

thanks, now i can justify my purchase of this thing and use it as a dedicated older games drive
