Cedega and NTFS

I have cedega and I would like to use games that are installed to my NTFS hard drive. I use captive to write and read from it in linux (emerge captive). Since it has read and write support, can I run my windows games off the NTFS hard drive with cedega, or does the partition have to be FAT32? I'm new to cedega, and so far I have had to install all of my games in linux to my resierfs partition. Its not fun to have CS Source on windows and linux (So much wasted space).

There should be no problem with using it that way. Be warned that accessing a captive partition *will* be significantly slower than a Reiser or Linux-NTFS partition.

Will it be slow enough that it will drastically hurt my FPS?
EDIT: If so, is there a way to convert NTFS to FAT32 (just as there is a non-destructive way to convert FAT32 to NTFS)?
