im not sure but i think that most games nowdays dont like being installed on ecxternal memory like a mp3 player and always requires it to be played on the smae pc as it was installed on, as it copies over "important" files onto that one.

As long as all the system files are copied over, simpler-install games that use basic installshield wizards will work, albeit load very slowly. However, games that either use an integrated system such as steam (eugh) or install files to secondary directories and check for registry keys will not. I would suggest try it, but technically you shouldn't be playing computer games at school anyway!

I dont think this will work. Most MP3 players are Flash memory and most games need 7200RPM hard drives to run properly. I would think that if you tried to load it of a mp3 player it would run very choppy.

Not necessarily, it would only be very choppy if the system was paging (not enough RAM). If there's sufficient RAM, once the game has loaded, hard disk usage is minimal, it'll just take ages to load up.

I dont really think that an MP3 player would have quite enough RAM to play a game like NFS in the first place...

The amount of RAM the Mp3 player has is irrelevant, the Mp3 player isn't running the game, just storing it, the PC RAM gets used in the same way. If you're referring to the buffer size of the HD, it will slow down loading but not affect gameplay.
