Memory and Fraps/Gaming?

Greetings all. Not really sure if I should post this under gaming or memory, so I chose memory subforums. Just really quick question. I understand that gaming really doesn't need a lot of memory. With that stated, what about memory as far as using Fraps in gaming is concerned? I would like to do a lot more Frapsing in my games. IF I increase my memory from 8gb+ will I see any kind of improvement in recording in fraps? Like I can easily tell when fraps is on or off atm.

I guess essentially what I'm asking is will it make my gameplay smooth enough while recording in Fraps that I won't notice it or affect my gameplay? Sorry struggling to figure out the right words for my question. Lol.

P.S. IF memory has no real impact on smooth recording of Fraps, what should I be looking at to improve smooth recording in Fraps? Settings? Hard drive? Thanks much again.
 
Memory has a slight effect on gaming and Fraps, but very minimal

Encoding and video is more heavy on processor and since it's gaming, graphics will play a role as well. What CPU to you run? I run an i7-860 with my 6950 and I can record at over 200FPS depending on the game. On basic games like Minecraft and L4D2, I've hit 1000FPS, given for L4D2 it's during the finale ending scene where the car drives through the glass wall.

Get a decent graphics and CPU. Set Fraps to 29FPS and half-size.

Good Luck,
Jason Xiao
 
Awesome! Thank your reply and helpful info. I think my CPU is decent enough with with my GPU. I will try out the settings you've stated. Thanks much again. :)
