Getting lag while recording with fraps

[hosan]

I like to record my duels with fraps in case I'm gonna make a movie someday, but the thing is that I get so much lag when recording making it nearly impossible to win a fight. Do you know what may cause this problem?

My computer looks like this:

cpu amd 2500+ (1.8ghz)
ram: 1024 MB RAM
hard drive: 2 x 160 GB
graphic card: radeon 9600 pro
motherboard: ABIT NF7-S

Well, a lot depends of what server you play on. So, what server?

[kiahann]

What do you record Fraps on? what Fps?

[Thiras]

Lag as in low fps, or high latency to the server?

Just by seeing what types of computer specs you have I can tell you now that your computer is running on the low side of things. Upgrading your CPU for $60 would be a huge improvement.

More RAM would probably be good for you as well.
