Keep in mind, Bloodlines uses the Source Engine. Do you know how absolutely *terrible* the Geforce 5 series is in the Source Engine? REALLY TERRIBLE. Now, I'm not positive that this graphics card weakness carried over to Bloodlines (would be amusing, after all, this game The Way Its Meant to Be Played is with Nvidia cards...), but that could be it.

On a similar note, but brand new (top of the line) computer does get some stuttering in cities, but load times are about 30 seconds at most (and rarely at that). I'm only running 1 gb of RAM, so I doubt that that would be the difference between your 5 minutes and my 30 seconds.

And as for the original poster-- a Geforce 4 isn't even a DirectX 9 card (I thought that was needed for Vampire? Maybe not). That's really cutting some corners on this type of game. I wouldn't be suprised if a lot of your frame rate issues, at least, had to do with your graphics card.
