it could be the hard drive because the speed 5400 RPM 7200RPM etc. is how fast it spins and the speed that the data can be read so I think it right be that. Also, I messed up on the RAM I have 512, I just added 256 and i keep forgetting! I will fix it above!it can be many things. processor speed, physical memory, things like that. with only 256 mb of RAM, that might be part of your problem. it's probably not the hard drive, because that has little to do with loading the levels. could also be your processor, but it might be other things. let some of the smarter computer guys advise you on this.

I defrag weekly and I think that it is the speed. I'm gonna get one of the 7200 rpm because i want a large HDD and the 10000 dont come in 150 GB or 200 GBIf its better when you reformat then you probably need to defragment your hd at least once a week and see if that helps. The HD speed might have something to do with it too, Get a 10,000rpm hd before you buy anything else, they aren't that expensive.

150-200 GB hard drives = massive amounts of pr0n!I defrag weekly and I think that it is the speed.

There is no law that says you can only use on HD, I use two myself.

I use my integrated GigaRAID (IT8212) ATA RAID Controller and "RAID Manager" the utility that comes bundled with with the RAID Controller hardware.
It ain't as hard as it sounds....

having two provides A LOT of protection from data loss, if i had only one, i would have shot myself a few months ago! big crash, all of C, dead! but my good buddy D was totally fine!

It also may be your connection to the internet. At what speed are you connecting. It just takes that long to communicate with the server and get all the information on where the peeps are and what they are doing...

It is cause it is loading the AI also. There is no AI in the multiplayer. Or is there.... some of thge players on this server (mostly n00bs) act like the AI on easy...Anyone know why I can load the Moon Omaha server ten times faster then any regualar single player level???????????

also, some levels are less complicated. i.e. tobruk will load faster than Cain cause Tobruk is flat and desert and has no scenery except some building that are almost the same. Cain has water, land, bridges, buildings, grass, weeds, flowers, u get my point.Never thought of that...thanks THink I will stop bitching at my computer for a while
