None of the Mass Effect games can run correctly with Intel's silly smoke and mirrors excuses for video; all of them must steal system memory to deal with large image files, forcing the OS to rely more and more on the Pagefile (Virtual Memory is on the Hard Drive), so a large Pagefile size is always mandatory with those awful things.
How large of a pagefile size are we talking here? I've currently got about 5038 Gigabytes allocated to virtual memory at the present moment; should I allocate more?
You're the one who chose to ignore the game's minimum requirement. I would never try running any decent game on trash for video, and would have no way to know how to make it try to work somewhere near to the way it should. I use a desktop PC, being the economical PC platform, and I upgrade real video graphics cards relatively regularly on the game machine.
If you at least have the needed upgrade slot, here is a cheap enough fix:

Fine, fine, fair enough. >.> I'm just saying, the first couple of save files I played through for it, it worked just fine, minimum requirements and everything. It just happened in the past few months, which is what irks me.
