The long map loads are not because of your video card. They are mostly due to your small RAM amount and your CPU speed which was not posted. Defragging your hard drive may improve load speed.

To defrag on XP:

Start-> Run-> Type "dfrg.msc" without quotes-> Press Enter-> Choose hard drive(s) -> Click Defragment -> Wait a long ass time for it to finish.

Your gfx card is pretty crapy man (that + the ram) would be slowing it down alot theres not alot u can do, i have a P4 FX5500 512mbram & i noticed it take a tad longer 2 load maps.

ps. Gforce 4 = 64mb right?.......

I think Geforce4 is 128, cause i have a geforce2 and it's 64 :-P but yea d()()d it's not your video card...... you need to get some more RAM. If your driver wasn't up to date it's more likely that you wouldn't be able to see the graphics as well. So do what Black Dove said, defrag and get a 512 RAM card, they aren't that expensive. Hope this works for you....

well my maps go just as fast as it does when i load cod. My specs are P4 3.2Ghz, 1GB RAM, x800 pro < takes about 20 secs and my fps is just the same, around 270-320 average

Video has nothing to do with the fact your map loads slow..

When it comes to slow loading you have to look at the following things:
Processing Speed
RAM
and, speed at which your harddrive spins to access the files.
