Depends on the map, but generally about 2-3 mins I guess.

First of all - how much RAM do you have? BF2 prefers 2GB and anything below 1GB really has a great impact on loading time. Clear out as much of the RAM as possible before starting. That is, right click and chose exit on everything that runs in the bottom-right traybar, including IM-programs (except xfire) and such.

Secondly, what detail level have you set? If you crank it all up, then the loading time will increase. Reducing resolution helps a lot, but I guess that is not an option :)

What kind of PC do you have?

The main things are Memory, Processor Speed. Also i have my copy on a different hard drive to my windows. And you can always turn down the detail will take less time to load then.

Also if you have alot of backgroundprograms running it slowers it down.

I agree with the above...memory & processor power are key.

I also found that it helped to shout at the screen & bang the keyboard

2x512 should be allright.
Not sure about UKprices or so but do a little search.256 MB RAM is really to low for that game.
