Actually, you should run "the slider" with at least 1.5-2GB ram unallocated so Windows remains happy and doesn't start swapping to disk. That is the path to darkness.

lol I hadn't turned my computer off for about a month, and this morning I was playing FTB Monster, while chatting on IRC and listening to music on iTunes. Turns out, when allocating 2.5GB of RAM, talking on IRC, listening to music on iTunes, all with the priority of MC set to -15/-20, will completely destroy everything. I was running with anywhere from 400-900MB of RAM available
Also, OP has 4GB of RAM, so 2GB of RAM is plenty. You shouldn't play heavily modded MC SSP if you don't have 4GB or more RAM.
You all need to just stop by my thread. Most of all you are discussing is fixed with a properly configured VM.
My FTB is actually set to use 3 GB but 2 Gigs is more than enough. I've got loads of chunkloaders, machines and stuff and it all peaks at 1,80 GB. So don't worry about RAM, if you don't want to get slowdowns and hiccups during your recording be sure to record to separate HDD!

Run task manager and check your CPU usage while running MC. a good enough CPU should never remains or exceeds 80% constantly.
The same as if you were not using FRAPS to record it. You'll just ALSO need a whole pile of RAM dedicated to FRAPS, plus a couple of cores from your proc since that is really more of a processing thing than a RAM thing.
Mine was running at 100%. That's not too far above 80 right?
AMD Turion II M500 was crap at running FTB (I had, HP DV6 laptop with that thing, real pain), so don't expect much from M300.
