Vista/Windows 7 on External Hard Drive
I would like to use an external hard drive to install windows 7 or vista on. Then, I could use this to plug into my dad's computer, boot my own OS, and run all my software/games/etc. If I used a usb 2.0 port, would this noticeable affect performance, especially when I am running games? If usb 2.0 is a bad option, would a SATA port work better.
