    Yep, just download fraps. I've never noticed any loss in performance while just running it in the background. Obviously, when recording stuff on your screen, your framerate is going to take a huge hit (Although with your processor, not as much as most people). Full screen recording will take a 40 fps scene down to 20 fps, while half screen recording on a Core 2 Duo or better will be about 30-35 fps.

    It uses very few resources. If you'd like to monitor it, Ctrl+Alt+Del to your task manager and see if it's consuming too much memory for your liking.
