Default Replay revisited w/FRAPS

For those of us with the lower end machines. I couldn't use FRAPS during a mission as it just CHUGGED and was next to useless for creating a video. I got to thinking that it was a memory-related problem so did some asking around. There was a couple of things I could do.
First off, I reset my Page File. For those of you who don't know what a page file is, it's a new term for what used to be the Windows Virtual Memory. Search using "What is a page file" to find out more.
Anyways I moved my page file from the C drive to my much larger D drive and increased the page file size to match my RAM (2 Gig).
Second, instead of trying to use FRAPS during an actual mission I used it while using a REPLAY game. It actually worked!! Granted it's not that smooth, it stutters a bit but I was impressed that it worked at all.
So, the REPLAY function within SHIV has some advantage after all. I'm guessing I can use FRAPS within a REPLAY game as the game is not doing all the other functions required during actual gameplay.
Not earth-shattering news for the people with high-end machines but I toss it out there for what it's worth.

My system specs:
AMD 64 3700+ (2.4Ghz)
2.5 Ghz RAM
nVidia 7800 AGP 256Mg
Win XP SP2
