Additional Note from Derek French:

The Mass Effect Config program will automatically adjust your settings on first run, to attempt to give you an optimal play experience. As with all PC games, computer performance varies from system to system and adjustments can be made via the Config or through the in-game options to tailor your experience.

I meet all the specs, execpt I have a Pentium D 925 3.0Ghz. How would that run?

GPU=8800gs

RAM=2GB

OS=Vista

I'm guessing it'll be able to play fine, but you'll have to play the game to find out. I'd advise you upgrade, though, as your processor is holding back your videocard.

thanks, and yeah I know I need to upgrade my cpu

fireandcloud if you remember my specs will i be able to run it on med-high to high

AMD Athlon X2 4000+(might turn that to aAMD Athlon X2 4600), 1 GB of RAM(soon to be 2 GB of RAM) and a radeon x1950 Pro? yeah, you should be fine, if those system requirements are accurate. you'd do well to get that ram upgrade.

I'm definately getting new RAM but I should good to run the game mostly on high right? lol

I wouldn't count on it. Unless Bioware worked wonders with the port, I think even the most extreme systems will occasionally experience performance issues. Let's just hope they do as good of a job as they did with KOTOR.

well, with the info that's available, it sounds like you should be able to run it medium-high at the least. i mean, everything you have (with the ram upgrade) is way above the minimum and meets the recommended (especially if you get the x2 4600) pretty much. i wouldn't lose much sleep over it. but we'll see.

Well, that's not very specific... Intel and AMD what? P4 and A64? I would think not, a 2GHz A64 is about as good as a 3.5-3.6GHz P4. But I was under the impression the Phenoms got less processing power per clock cycle than the C2D's, which would mean the AMD clock speed needed should be higher than the Intel one. So I'm really not sure what they're referring to.

actually, i just looked up other games' system requirements, and the one the op listed is pretty much on par with games like cod4 and gears of war and so forth.

for gears of war, the requirements are intel 2.4, amd 2.0; for cod4, it's p4 2.4 and amd 64 2800 (1.8, i believe). so it seems reasonable that the 2.4 and 2.0 for mass effect is referring to intel p4 and amd 64.

so zerosaber456, if those system requirements are right, then i'd imagine your rig should be able to run it on high if you get that extra gig of ram.

You haven't played Jade Empire, have you?

I could run that game on high on my 6 years old PC

I could have run it on my old PC.zeus_gb

I wonder what would happen if i tried that..

I dont quite understand the CPU requirements.It looks like a pentium4 2.6Ghz as recommended.:?Spybot_9

Surely that would be a single core though so if you had a dual core at that same speed you would be alright still.

Yea I think Im good for it.
