How much RAM for recording?

well it is not so black and white bro if i want to play some starcraft broodwar and record it in 360p i can do it with 32 bit machine no problem , but ofcourse 1080p would not be great

Yea but that game came out in 1998, I'm not even sure you can set it to 1080p..
Basically, 32bit systems can't handle more than

Well , Starcraft doesn't even support that resolution =D .
It's all about what you play/do with your PC .
Recent games will require a 64bit machine .
You can play/record recent games with a 32bit system . The thing is your framerate might not be stable or it might be too low .
Not because of your OS but because if you have a 32bit system you probably have a pretty old PC .
Also some games have a 64bit OS in their requirements .
It's all about what you do .


True but you have to have a really good HDD .
At least a Caviar Black . And it depends on what recording software you are using .
Recording a 1080p/60FPS video with one HDD with Fraps is a clearly something you don't want to do .
Same with Dxtory .
You might need to use some other recorders like Camtasia or Bandicam .

Mine's a 1TB 7200RPM Seagate, 720p 60fps with DxTory worked fined ^n^

Pretty big, you're going from on extreme to another. You really shouldn't be gaming and recording on a 32bit machine

Minecraft used to lag to hell when I was running 32bit, and I find render times to be much faster on 64bit and editing is more fluent.
