Recently I've started using more addons, especially involved in customising the UI. My addons memory useage has, as a consequence, gone up significantly. This isn't a problem from a gaming point of view in general. However, when I try and capture video with Fraps in a raid, my FPS plummets to single digit numbers and becomes essentially unplayable. I didn't have this problem a few months ago when I used fewer addons.

My PC setup is:

Processor: AMD Phenom II x4 955 3.20 GHz
RAM: 4.00 Gb
Graphics: NVIDIA GeFrce GTX 550 Ti

I'm guessing an upgrade to 8 Gb RAM is likely to help, but I don't want to go ahead and do this if I end up with the same problem happening. Can anyone advise please?
