I don't see any reason why you could not do that.

Be worth it. Keep the internal hard drive clean.

It sure would. A friend of mine is going to do the same thing as soon as he gets an external hard drive.

Fellow gamer? I'm desperate to try and set up LAN. Now that would be amusing

yep u can, i don't see any problem in it if u have enough free space in external hard.

I do use external hard disk for such cases, most headache is all my downloaded files every where in both hard disks and some very important files, fear to copy in to cds.

I've heard you might have a few problems, such as the game running slower on your external hard drive than it would on your internal one (I guess it might depend on the reading speed of your external hard drive) or the game's launcher pointing to the standard directory on your internal hard drive instead of the one you chose. However, I have never tried it myself so I can't say whether it's true or not. Technically, I can't see why it shouldn't work.

It is running slower. I've done it before and it is possible. But I'd prefer it on an internal harddrive.

So it depends on the speed of the processor?
Sounds straight forward.

Right...there are some good decent sized externals out there....1000gb is the one i'm looking at.

It is possible, I tried it out (with other games). But it depends also on the hard disk. You should use one with an e-Sata cable and an good reading speed. Probably, you could buy them separatly, because than you can choose what you want. It is easy to put both together. With an good hard disk and e-Sata, it is as fast as on the normal disk.

sorry, if you didn't understand everything, I am still learning English.

The biggest game I'd be playing would be Call of Duty and the rest would be Age of Empires, Cossacks etc.
Are there any eSata cables you recommend or are they all the same?

If there are special cables that are better than the otheres I can't tell you. But if you want to buy you an eSata hard disk, check whether you have still a non raid sata slot on your mainbord (the ones you also put your normal hard disks on). But normally I think it does not so much depend on your sata cable, but I am no specialist, only an "interested user".

P.S.: When you are going to buy on, look if there is an adapter-slot you could install at the back of your computer, so that you don't have to buy it separated.
