Your GPU specs are very important, so I would recommend you find that, download GPU-Z or look through computer system info

My graphics card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
Also, my java is 32-bit. Should I get 64-bit?

Your GPU is quite poor, it will lag on most games.

From what I've read FRAPS typically causes a 20% - 25% drop in performance. However with a dual core CPU it may be even more. Games typically use 2 cores (or more). Video encoding is pretty demanding by itself. With only a dual core CPU both the game and FRAPS will be fighting for CPU resources so expect lower gaming performance and possibly some dropped frames in FRAPS.
