They're way too big you can probably fit a small arcade game and game saves but it wouldn't work for long. Plus if you ever wanna try demos and download map packs which some games require you'll need a HDD. They're selling 20 GB HDs for $30 but they're used. It would be best to buy one of those because it'll also come with 3 months of XBL. So you're pretty much buying a HD for $10 if you plan on paying for a gold subscription.

Oops arcade games are too big. You'll be able to get a few on there but you'll run out of space pretty fast.

Yes you can. I have a memory card and i did the same thing. It's very easy too. I use my memory card to back up save files just in case my HD ever breaks.

I do the same thing - I use my memory card to backup important saves so if anything happened to my harddrive I haven't lost it all
