    On Mass Effect 1, once I applied their fix to stop the Windows Explorer crash caused by SecuROM grrrRRRRRRRRrrr - it ran just fine at 1920x1200. I'd guess ME2 should still be good, but YMMV - I did invest in a T9300 2.5ghz CPU, and that helps games a lot.

    I've been playing it all day and it's running beautifully on my 6860. 1440x900 with the settings maxed. ME2 seems to run better that ME1 did. I noticed smoother frame rates that ME1.

    My 6860 specs:
    T9300 @ 2.5, 8800gt-s factory clocks, 4gb ram, 2 5400rpm Seagate's raid0
