I already have my pagefile disabled. I run OandO defrag like everyday. I have 6 harddrives, and yes I already record onto a blank 750GB hdd which has nothing on it except my fraps videos. I tested using different cpu affinities, but I found out that as long as fraps has an affinity that isn't Core0, the difference in performance will be the same. I only tested on my dual core, so I dunno how it is with quads.

Tweaking my graphics settings does nothing except when changing the resolution. I doubt a 6 year old game stresses my 2 year old 8800GT anyways.

How can my hard drive be the bottleneck if recording fraps doesn't even come close to my max hdd write speed?

I actually upgraded my E6400 to a E5200 which should come in tomorrow. Then I'll overclock it to hell (maybe 4ghz?) and then test again.
