This is what drives me nuts about PC gaming.
ME1 runs perfectly, ME3 demo is flawless, ME2 constantly skips and stutters

My system meets the requirements right?
Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 @ 2.66ghz (have tried OC'ing to 3.2ghz)
4gb DDR2 Ram
HD5750 512mb
Have tried on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows XP 32-bit. Keep in mind game flawlessly for me last time I played it, which was around launch. Have tried rolling back video/sound drivers to no avail. Any way to roll back to an older version of ME2 (like 1.01 or 1.00) while on Steam? I'm wondering if 1.02 did something that has made the game unplayable for me.

Are you using the overclocked settings for your CPU? Did you try setting it back to regular settings?
And when you say skips and stutters do you mean the sound? The visual display? or both?

I tried non-OC settings, it's what I did before going to the OC. By stuttering I mean EVERYTHING, it was awful performance. I fixed it, though I can't detail how. DRM only seems to hurt the honest consumer. Performance is flawless now.

A while back Steam changed the data format for its games, and automatically updated games in users' libraries to match. This caused problems with Mass Effect 2 and some other games at the time, and it could still be the source of your problem.
Here's my advice:
1. First try verifying the game's cache in Steam. Just go into Steam's settings for the game to do so.
2. If that fails, try uninstalling and reinstalling the game.
3. If that doesn't work, get your game's CD key from Steam and uninstall the game (get the key first, as you can't get it once the game's uninstalled). Register the CD key with EA's Origin service to download and install it from there.
Good luck. And btw, Mass Effect 2 is a relatively DRM-free game, all things considered. It doesn't require an always-on connection, you can switch off its automatic connection, and you can install it as many times as you want. Hardly the draconian measures of the first Mass Effect, or Ubisoft's current PC games.

Try disableing warnings/annotations for programs in Windows 7.
Set the game exe properties to "run as admisntrator" & combatability to "Windows XP SP2.
After this run the game in windowed & fullscreen/borderless. This "cured" the stuttering, but occasionally you get a popup "Mass Effect 2 is not responding. & get 2 prompted actions "Close Program" & "Wait for Program." ... This seems to have fixed all stuttering ingame.
