User blog:EpaX/Could this reduce in-game lag/fraps lag ?

hey, so i've recently been trying to Fraps a few games, in hopes of making a montage. I find out that it is almost impossible to play with the lag i experience. Without fraps, my computer running on best performance and game booster running, i still only get an average of 50-60 fps. When frapsing, i get < 30 fps. Sometimes when i press the hotkey to start recording, my screen freezes and i get 1 fps. -__-

I've been thinking if getting a 1 terrabyte external harddrive and storing my recordings into it would reduce lag and increase my fps. I play on a laptop with:

Processor: Intel(R) COre(TM)2 Duo CPU T6400 @ 2.00GHz

Memory (RAM): 3.00GB

System type: 32-bit Operating System

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS 512 MB

C Drive space: 116 GB (24.5 GB Free)

If getting an external harddrive won't help, any ideas on what would? Thanks =]
