I don't think you'll find any 6 year old game that can stress your 8800GT, don't think anyone's said anything about that...

World of Warcraft however, will. Graphic settings does a LOT for my 8800GTX atleast, it's easily a 10-20fps during recording difference tweaked vs high quality settings.

I'm not really sure, maybe it's easier to reach certain speeds on certain harddrives that are faster than others, no matter what % of the max that is, or maybe it has something to do with the performance of everything ELSE using the harddrive, when it's getting used a lot by fraps, and that might ease up with a faster harddrive? Again, not really sure, but, I mean... this is really what the main weight is for recording with fraps, isnt it?
