4 Tools to improve performance

Windows XP. Service pack 3.
Quite a low spec computer, but I was hoping it wouldn't slow it down any more than fraps does.

Yeah I'm not sure how it runs on low spec computers.

Fraps recording depends on your settings, you just need to adjust them manually and you will be good. And for some people the sound loss is really a loss.

Yeah i can't get my sound on. I hate it!

Cover it up with music?

I can tell you - not very well.

[Cave]

Why would ANYONE want a recording program that doesn't record?

[Danny]

It's obviously predominantly a video recording program, not audio.

Having said that, it sucks at recording video too, my .avi's were all either monochromatic or inverted >_>

The new FRAPS (v3.0 and higher) is a LOT better then the old versions (2.9 and lower), barely lags anymore (atleast for me)

[Danny]

I use it. Still lags me.
Hoping to get a new computer tomorrow or the day after though, so hopefully no more lag.

You basically only need a damn fast HDD for FRAPS, other components are less important.

The faster your HDD, the less lag with FRAPS. Simple as.

I can't record sound anyway, so I'll give it a try.

It reduces my FPS just as much as Fraps >_>

Do you have Realtek installed?
