    I have a 60 gig thumb drive, could I install games on it like crisis then run the
    game from the thumb drive with my lap-top ?

    You'd still have to install the game on your laptop, specifying the USB stick as the installation directory. It would be dog-slow to load though, not worth it at all.

    Yeah, you could for sure, but like Greg said, it would be crazy slow. Roughly 3-4x slower.
