I just build a new comp for xmas and of course I wanted to test how my pc records with fraps, since I love videoediting.
Now I only have two hard-drives, my new WD 320GB SATA and my old Seagate 120GB IDE. I`ve read that fraps records best when its installed
and set to record to another hard-drive than the system hard-drive. So, I was hoping that the 120GB IDE of mine could take the massive data that fraps gives but apparently it cant. (Only 40 fps @ 1280x1024, no likey) I can record just fine with the SATA drive, but the only problem is that the fps drops from 70-90 to 10 time to time.
So, I was thinking that maybe I could copy my SATA drives files to the IDE drive, then use the SATA drive for recording and the IDE drive for windows. I just dont know if this slows my comp/other programs due to the slower transfer-rate.
Too bad I wasnt smart enough to by two 160GB drives instead of one 320...
PS. I have defragged the SATA-drive and cleaned it of all useless shit I dont need, so its not that.
