Fraps and FS Recorder

I think I'm going to have a little too much fun with the screen capture software and the flight data recorder plug-in for FSX. I guess for my future posts I can include flight videos of the takeoff and landing. My problem is that Intel Graphics Media Accelerator really isn't that good for gaming, so I get 6 fps even when I turn down the scenery, detail of the aircraft, and the weather. Maybe when I look for a computer for use when I go to college, I can find one that has a discrete graphics card...and maybe I can switch to X-plane.
