Computer setup:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ (2.5Ghz dualcore)
1Gb DDR2 ram
2x 500GB SATA300, one for wow, one for recordings
Radeon x1950Pro 512MB

When not recording i get between 70-130FPS.
When recording it drops to between 20-30FPS which sucks, making it choppy.

I have 1280x1024 resolution ingame and everything set to max, which is no problem, i get exactly the same FPS if i turn down the resolution and set all detailsettings to low, so my pc obviously can handle this very fine. My HD's sounds smooth and ok when recording, not overloaded.

Ingame settings, no sync, ofcourse, since 75hz updaterate on screen will limit my fps to 75fps, which sucks when i can go up to 130.

Fraps settings, i tried 30fps, 40fps, even 60fps, all with the same choppy 20-30fps result. "No sync" is not checked, means there is sync, i heard you get double speed if you check it. anyway if this was the problem i should still get up to 75fps.

I find it hard to believe that my ram is the only thing slowing it down, ofc i know 1gb is little, but hell i should still get more fps than this. Im sure there is some settings i missed.
