Mass Effect to x64

Hi, 

I opened the task manager and realised that ME3 was on 32bit. Should the game normally be running on 64bit. Is there an option to run it on that setting?

    It works on 64bit systems, but it is 32bit.

    It was developed for XBox 360 mainly.

    There is no 64bit version of ME3.

    ME3 (and the vast majority of commercial applications these days) are still 32-bit.  Windows has had a 64-bit version since XP, all of which will run 32-bit programs just fine. 

    You'll notice that most of your programs, including ME3, get installed into "C:\Program Files [x86]".  That's the folder for 32-bit programs. 

    "C:\Program Files" is where Windows will put a native 64-bit application (if you ever find one!)

    Are you running 64bit?

    I've upgraded my pc a couple of months ago and just did the normal re-install after. The computer put the game into the usual folders and I have not noticed a difference in running it. According to EAs website, it's compatible with 32bit as well as 64bit.

    The game runs with no problems. I just wanted to know if I could run it on x64.
