Esata Card

Is it possible to run Windows games or programs from an external drive?

I have a MacBook Pro and I am required (for now) have a dual boot in order play. My hard drive only 160, thus giving away a 32 GB hard drive Vista was. Now, after installing Vista and a game that has very little room for work. Is there a way to have the partition for the operating system only and have the programs (games) running on an external drive. I imagine FireWire 800 or eSATA II (via Express card) would be almost as fast as a drive on the machine, but I'm not sure.

Yes I installed WoW on the external drive 30 GB and it works better than my normal computer. Just make sure that references the correct files.
