I dont have an intel mac now but I plan too in the not-so-distant future. I plan on installing bootcamp for a few games and really nothing more, but I was wondering if the games could be installed on an external HD (its FW400/800 and USB2.0) and played from there so I wont have to set aside as much space for windows. Ofcourse I wouldnt do this if it were to compromise the quality of the games.

Edit: Whoops, wrong thread.

I can't see there being a problem with that. When I used a Windows PC I had an external hard drive which I ran games from. I stored them on the external so I could just plug it into my notebook and not have to install everything twice!

Okay so I just finished HL2. I played the bulk of it on two different weekends: Three hours last saturday and :ahem: eleven hours (straight) from Friday evening to Saturday morning.

I did okay. The lack of sleep, anyway. I totally tore up he game.

But aside from the aesthetics/graphics, I wasn't overly blown away by the game play, AI or story line. Don't get me wrong, it was a good game but I don't get the hype.

My favorite levels were Ravehholm and Follow Freeman. The one level that could've been shortened, by at least half was Our Benefactors. Was there really a point to hoping into a steel cage and being transported around for a long, long time, twice

So finish up folks. I hear there is an expansion coming, someday.

But what's your appraisal of how it performs on your system? And what IS your system?
