Impact of game on external drive vs internal drive?
I have my Quake, MS Flight, Wolfenstein, etc on my external USB drive. Does
this affect performance? Can this have an impact on connection?

USB 2.0 and Firewire are faster, but overall the absolute fastest connection is either SATA or IDE. This does not affect your ping and connection to the server other than overall system performance.
