I recently got Mass Effect and am having issues running it... while it does fine in the early phase of the game... with decent FPS (40-50), once I get into the meat of the game it becomes unplayable, freezing every few seconds, yet it's not a "steady" stutter like a typical FPS issue. More of like, it freezes for 5 seconds, then is smooth as butter for 10, then freezes again, which makes me think it's a RAM issue. I have 2 gigs of ram, is there any way to force more RAM to be used by the game?

Be nice to know what your hardware consisted of and what resolution you play at.
