So the question is: Is there anything better you would recommend and do you have any advice...

    Framerate averages have all dropped suddenly on Alienware M17x R4?

My computer is already good, but my HDD's write speed is rather low, so I'll get an SSD to compensate it. So, what would be the best option: 1) leaving Fraps, the game, and everything else...

    What is a small file size recording alternative to fraps?

    I use fraps to record gameplay, but the preconverted file sizes are too big for extended recording as a few minutes is a few gigs. What is a good, free alternative to Fraps that records gameplay and records smaller file sizes, all with good quality. Any feedback or help is greatly appreciated
