k so I have 55 GB in use of 100 GB, but recently a video I did with fraps was 6 GB (and it was 6 mins)!

I mean, what will I get for an i.e. OOT speed run??

So, can I add more GBs to my Ram or what?

RAM and hard drive space are two different things. If you want to add more hard drive space, you'll need a new hard drive. If you want to add RAM, do be aware that RAM is not for storing your movies, although it can help out performance and "speed" of the computer.

Generally an OOT sppedrun is at least an hour and half or so. So the speedrun will take quite a bit of space.

But 6GB for a 6 min video? You should really compress that video (such as using MPEG 3), that would shrink it down to only a few MB. You have the option to do so in FRAPS.

My codecs info is hazzy, but I tought MPEG1 is VCD, MPEG2 is SVCD/DVD, MPEG3 is MP3 (audio) and MPEG4 is DiVX/XViD/H.264. If he has a spare core (quad-core maybe) he might get away with MPEG4.
