I call BS on that. Fraps has been around far before Quad Core CPU's came along. So how do you explain that theory?

NaturalViolence's explanations pretty much summed it up. Back then, games were mostly programmed or optimized for single core, such as the Pentium 4 processor. These days, however, games are now using dualcore as the standards, but there are some games that utilize more than 2 cores i.e. GTA IV for the pc. So to capture games at full speed with fraps required some beefy hardware: multicore CPU, fast hdd, and 2gb of ram or more is preferred.
