In the first part of a how-to series on Let's Play videos, I show you how to assess your current PC hardware. I also make ballpark recommendations as to the hardware specs needed to run advanced emulators. Are you up to the task?

  • About how much hard drive space would you suggest when using a program like FRAPS?

  • If you're going to capture fullscreen, live-action game video, period, then each raw video could take 500 MB or more, so a drive of 100 GB or better will help in a big way, Partitioning (splitting) larger drives can help you stay organized, but it's always good practice to delete raw footage after processing.

  • lol he mentioned nothing about AMD processors...

    Phenom 2 for the win!

  • Pssst...I've got one of those in my bench box. A Phenom II X4 805 "Deneb", to be exact. In truth, I find AMD-based units easier to construct than Intel-based ones.  Maybe it's the LGA socket...no, that's not it. It's that damned crazy HSF (heatsink/fan combo). I'm lucky if I can get one of those on an Intel.

    I was listing the Intel line as reference, as all but us geeks are most familiar with Intel
