Any way to dedicate memory to a specific task?

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?
