i was running a ge force 2 32 meg vid card then i bought a new ge force 2 mx 400
64 meg card and map load time went from 2 min. on old card to almost 10 min on new card.
what up?
i did raise the display reso up quite a bit with new card and everything else seems to run just fine.
also sometimes when i am walking it will hang up for just a few moments
anyone have any ideas.
could it just be a ram problem i have 500 megs on-board at this time

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you wasted your money. The card you bought as a replacement is inferior to your old model. It does have more memory it's true but the MX models are cut down versions of the regular chipsets.

Raising the resolution will have made the problem worse since there is more to draw. You might be able to fix the problem if you can get the game to run in OpenGL mode which draws the maps faster.
