I'm at the very beginning of the game, and after playing for about 1-2 hours, after running pretty smoothly with very minimal lag on highest graphical setting, suddenly the game will start to lag to the point that teh game is pretty much unplayable. Loading screens take forever and movement is so difficult to pull off. As said in the title, its random, appearing sometimes after playing for several minutes, sometimes for simply an hour or two. I'm fairly sure it has nothing to do with my PC's power, as I'm able to play this game and all my other games (Team Fortress 2, Portal, Left 4 Dead 2) at highest graphical settings with little to no problems). Here's the setup for reference

This is going to be a limiting factor.  Your chip is essentially a mobile verison of a Core 2.  The game requires:

Bioware's Windows Vista MINIMUM System Requirements
*Windows Vista with SP1
*CPU: Intel Core 2 (or equivalent) running at 1.8Ghz or greater
*CPU: AMD X2(or equivalent) running at 2.6Ghz or greater
*RAM: 1.5 GB or more
*VIDEO: ATI Radeon X1550 256MB or greater
*VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256MB or greater

You can try lowering your graphics settings, but expect limited results.  Obviously, having other applications running (e-mail, browsers, etc) will affect performance even more.  Also watch for overheating.

I'm having the exact same problem, the game runs beautifully for about an hour after starting it up, and then it starts to bog down to nigh-unplayability. Feels like a memory leak.

Windows XP 32 bit SP3
Phenom 2.3 ghtz quad core
2 GB RAM
GeForce 9800 GTX

latest drivers and DX.

It could be. That or overheating.

Many have reported memory leak-like issues, and the devs are looking into it as part of the 1.05 patch under development.  You might want to chime in, if you haven't already, in the "DOA Plans Going Forward" thread pinned near the top of the forum.  Luke, from Bioware, is collecting reports and asking some folks to provide him with system information.

No one can EVER really have the exact same problem when it's a PC, unless it's two people sharing the same machine; that's why I prefer that everyone reports their problem individually, following a standard reporting procedure.  We haven't had any officially provided procedure for DAO for almost a year.  Now we have one.  It's pinned on top: "Read First".

Be that as it may, I already answered this thread a few minutes ago, and the software threw away the answer for some weird reason of its own.  The "Latest Drivers" is generally a bad idea for this game when you have an older model Geforce such as a 9800 GTX.  nVIDIA is only looking at the newest GPUs and the newest games, and their newer drivers fail to work correctly any more for old graphics cards and for this game (and both of the Mass Effect games).
