I have 256MB SDRAM PC133mhz and I dont even use 1/2 of it while running Renegade. You probably want to check your hard drive data transfer rate. I have an AMD 850mhz and my general load time is about 20-30 seconds. The main bottle neck is moving the data from the HD especially if your hard drive is really fragmented. My last HD failed on me & towards the end it had data transfer rates around that of a slow CDROM drive and my game would take FOREVER to load.

Bottom line : get components that perform on the same level...
Fast RAM + Fast CPU + 5400RPM HD = bad idea
The hard drive is by farthe slowest media out of all the media's involed when playing Renegade.

Same holds true when any of those components preforms on substandard levels...
