Don't use medium x264 preset, use veryfast instead. The Medium preset consumes huge amounts of CPU.

Also, disable Aero if you're going to use Monitor capture.

Run the 64bit version if possible and lower your fps to 25 also try creating a new scene with game capture in it and use that for streaming the game.

i don't have aero by default, i use the classic theme, checking the "disable aero" only makes the screen fliccker and it's annoying

edit: oh yeah on 64bit and that cpu thinggy on very fast works great even on 1680×1050 Ty

ok, so the problem now is... i'm streaming at 1440x900(wen't low for thers who don't have uber pc's) but the viwers complain of lag... i checked it out on the second monitor and it works fine, i have a 100mbps fiber connection, so i don't have any lag problem, but thers seems to do, what max bitrate and buffer size sould i use?

3000 is kind of a high bit rate, but not outrageous...try enabling CBR and see if people get better performance. CBR tends to stabilize connection issues with viewers at the cost of consuming more bandwidth.
