I have a few related questions.

First I would like to use bootcamp to run windows XP from an external harddrive, can I do this? if I can, would it be fast enough to play a few games like rfactor, counter strike, and perhaps the iracing.com sim?

If so, can I do it using esata on my macbook pro core duo? There seem to be plenty of bootable esata expresscards, however OWC notes theirs as not booting in core duo macbook pros, is this true for the rest of them?

Thanks for any help.
