Will old XBox games save to my 360 mem card?

Noob question. The genious at gamestop had no idea. Im using a 256 meg memory card to save my games on 360. Can I save from original XBOX games to that card? I know you can on a hard drive, but im very cheap and only own the mem card. Thanks for any help.

You're missing out on a lot of DLC, some of it free....

I am pretty sure the HDD is was enables you to play games B/C (because they don't use anything like a chip or what not like Sony uses). So i am pretty sure you may not even be able to play original xbox games, but if you already own a mem card you could either rent an xbox games you know for sure is B/C (Halo or Halo 2...) or borrow a game from a friend. If it doesn't work then you need a HDD.
