fast question

[EdGey]

hello guys

what bit of hardware plays the biggest part when loading a map for online play?

recently it has go very slow and maps take ages to load for some reason.

at first i thought the cpu, but then i thought it might be the hard drive, or could it even be the internet connection? all of which are guesses..

any suggestions thanks

my ram is corsair 800MHz

my HD is 10,000rpm

graphics as per sig.

this makes no sence something could be broken?

Which game are we talking about here? All or one in particular?

good point, i just checked and i connect to cod4 maps very fast at normaly speed. the game it is lagging on is the game i play most often, call of duty united offensive (cod1 expansion pack)

ive already tried re-installing the game.

will tey defraging tonight see if that helps, although i dont understand why it would just be one game that has all of a sudden started to go slow.

thanks for help
