I'm a total computer newbie.
I just bought the discs today, and installed it.
When I press play on the Mass Effect 2 window, the screen turns black, the mouse appears to be loading, and then it backs out and tells me that ME2 has stopped working.

Okay, I'm running an-   AMD Athlon™ 64 x2 Dual-Core Processor TK-55, 1.8 GHz

I'm on Microsoft Vista Home Basic.

Clock Speed: 1799 MHz

Physical Memory: 894 MB
I know I need 2 GB of RAM. It only says I have 1 GB, so I tried this trick off youtube:
I don't know if it works. Can anyone tell me of any ways to increase my RAM?

Display Adapter:
Also, I see that the minimum for graphics card is ATI Radeon 1600 Pro. Since I don't know anything about graphics cards, I assume I need to get something else to replace my ATI Radeon XPress 1150?

VRAM: 318 MB (Yeah, I know. Purty Bad.)

Sound Adapter: SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC

Driver Version: 6.10.5407.0

I have DirectX 10 (Aug 2008)

I know I may have stumbled upon the answer myself with some research, but I am really DYING to play this game.
Thanks for the replies, guys.

Your system doesnt met the specs. That "trick" off youtube will do nothing, as you need physical ram to be 2gb, not virtual ram. Your video card doesnt match the minimums requirements either, and a quick check shows it to be an integrated chipset on laptops.
Buy a new PC is the only answer.

RAM is physical hardware that plugs into "slots" on the mainboard of a PC.  Laptops use a type that lies down fflat somehow or other (it's been so long since I look at the bottom of one where the RAM hatch is, I've forgotten what holds them in place there).  Desktop MBs have what are called "DIMM" strips, not SODIMMs.  The DIMM strips are upright, and easy to deal with, although they do have a "catch" on each end to retain them in their slots. 

Desktop PCs come with expansion slots that tie into the PC system's electrical "bus" communication channels, including the PCIe video bus for graphics cards, which has a latch on only the "front" end to hold it in, and a different hold down on the back end (often a machine screw).  When there is no physical video card in that slot, the PC will have to use a very low quality onboard video graphics chip instead that cannot normally be used to play games with. 

You can buy more RAM, and a game-capable video card, for a desktop.

Sorry about this next, it's ME-1's list:

You can only buy more RAM and/or a larger Hard disk drive for a laptop.  The design that those use prevents an upgrade to the graphics.
