What are some things people new to this program should do?
I am new to this program and I wonder if there is some things that should be set from the start. For example, what is the best video setting in terms of frames per millisecond if I want to record a video game? What mic settings (Hz, Kbs) should I set it to? Thank you for your help!

You may want to alter the aspect ratio for a wider frame, since that is now standard on YouTube, but still, the 600 dot height is a good rule of thumb.
I also find it useful to familiarize myself with the Windows PowerToy called ZoomIt. This is a program that zooms in to your screen, and is good to use if you need to show some particular detail. There's a similar program called Virtual Magnifying Glass that is also good for this. It may be easier to use than ZoomIt for a screencast (ZoomIt is better for in-classroom presentations).
And you can turn on the auto-pan feature so that your window follows your cursor around the screen, and set its pan speed.
Zoomit is a great tool, indeed, agreed!

Why does CamStudio partition the video from the audio when the file size becomes a certain size? Do I have to necessarily manage this, or is there a setting I am missing?
