Just wondering if anybody has looked at this, my machine is not a slacker: Athlon XP 3200+(2800 @11X200), 512MB Corsair PC3200, ASUS A7N8X, WD120GB 8MB cache HD, ATI 9700Pro AIW

So it's average-above average IMHO

Are there any tips the gurus can pass on about optimizing load times?

My frame rates are acceptable in game, but I usually end up spectating after a map change due to slow load times. Any assistance is indeed appreciated!
 
I usually have a slow load time also,but it only last for about5 to 10 sec. My hardware is p-4 intell 1.6 gig 768 ddr ram and a 40 gig hd with a 64 mb vid card
 
Are you sure it's not a connection issue? Does it take the same amount of time on a high ping server vs a low ping?
 
no connection issues that I know of, I don't connect to high ping servers. rarely connect to a server if it's over 100ms usually in the 40-80ms
and my load times when joining a server can be up to a minute changing maps can be 30 seconds or more.
