I think it doesn't matter whether or not the sticks can be bootable,  
as any hard drive can have an MBR. I know what matters is whether or  
not the computer in question can boot from USB devices. Look in the  
machine's BIOS settings. I have a 1GB stick with U3 on it, but if I  
had a larger stick without any software I could just copy my emulator  
hard drive to it. The emulator software comes with that ability, and  
the ability to go the other way around :-)
