Hehe

Anyhow, my map load times are significantly faster then most other people. Most of the time I can be in a game 45-60 seconds before the next player, and i have yet run into someone who loads faster then I (yea i know its crazy, if only the thing didnt overheat after 4 hours). This also in turn makes it very easy to vehicle whore, but more to the point, tonight i was accused of cheating/hacking, just beacuse i can go run around the map capping flags, setting mines/C4 and blowing up stuff before the rest of them with their Intel P4's can even finish loading the map. I mean i used to play with an older P4 and was always last, but never complained, much less accused people of cheating/hacking.

Im in the map in about 40 - 60 secs on a AMD 4000+

I love getting tanks first

BTW, it takes me like 1 - 2 MINS to load a SF map, WTF is with that??

Actualy I use an Old P4 model & get very good load times with my poor 6600 256mb DDR1. Why? Because A using a sata Hardrive & B More than 2 gigs of RAM. Ram & Hard Disks are the only hardware elements that really improve loading times ladies & gentleman.

But as subz3r0mkt said 'Thats a pretty nice Rig' & you know what, hes not wrong
Nice Computer

It must suck when the map changed while you are loading then.
You have to finish loading that map then load the other.

Before I got new RAM, my computer took 9 minutes to load a map.

1.7GHz AMD Athlon 2000+ and I had 512mb of PC2100 RAM, now I have 1024mb of a 512mb PC2100 stick and a 512mb PC3200 stick... loads in about 2 minutes or so.
