will mass effect run smooth if i could run crysis warhead on smooth?

Is Mass Effect really as taxing on low end systems as most websites say?i read on 2 websites that mass effect was way more taxing than unreal tournament 3.

i was just wondering if mass effect would run on low with 25-30fps if i could run crysis warhead on low with an average 20-25 fps.

i have an athlon 2000+ 768ram and geforce 6600

hey there :)
u can use System requirements Lab to be sure

and I think you need to upgrade your RAM, the new games eats memory like a child eating candy

i do not like that. it only helps some people. i'm sure if i used sysreq lab for crysis, it would say noo...., i was looking for something like experience or have you done it type of thing

well if you could run Crysis, then I think you should be able to run Mass effect, it's nearly the same requirements.
if there is a demo available for the game, I think you should download it and test it to see if it works on your PC before buying it.

on my system runnig it on medium it uses up around 750 mb of ram S oI doubt you'll be able to run it on your system especially with your video card

you need a new Power supply
video card
new ram (ram needs to be matching)
New CPU

so most of a new computer it'll cost you around $300

CPU AMD 5200+ (3 ghz X 2) $76
