Mapping a Network Drive for Games??

Comment:

I'm new to networking but have set up my 3 PC's on a LAN with no problems. What I want to know is, is it possible to map a network drive on my main PC, and install my multiplayer games to that network drive and then have my other 2 pcs run the game from that drive??? I'm only asking because I'm sick of keeping 3 installations of Half Life (+MODS!!) + other games updated, when hopefully I can get away with just keeping 1 copy of each game updated! If its possible, can I expect any problems?? any loss of performance?? etc..
