If its stuttering during the video parts (theres alot of them) then its not a game only related issue. Video stuttering issues are generally going to be codec related in some form. I use to have stuttering issues back with Half-Life 2. It was a rampent problem for alot of people.
After upgrading to Win 7 I haven't had any stuttering video issues with any game.
I really doubt its a memory leak issue since ME2 is based off the Unreal Engine they would have had to make some serious changes to the engine to cause a memory leak. Seeing as how most of the changes seem to purely be cosmetic UI changes I doubt thats the problem.
I also use a AMD Anthlon 7550 DualCore Proc and have no issues with the game. Loading times are more then fast enough (10 - 20 seconds) and with everything turned up all the way the game holds a steady 60 fps with only a drop occuring once or twice throughout the entire game.
I would also check to make sure your audio drivers are upto date. Since your running XP there's a good chance that they haven't been updated in some time. Thats one of the wanders of Win7 is that it has its own audio stack / mixer so audio drivers mean jack to Win7 at the end of the day.
This is starting to piss me off that Bioware will not address this...CONSTANT FPS STUTTER

what's the disable TMP patch?
Maaaaaybe it's the TLB patch, hrr.
If you have an AMD Phenom processor or the likes, some of the early versions of those had some problems with their TLB (Translation Lookaside Buffer), which was....bad and such, mkay. So Teh Windows guys made a patch that plugged the holes, but also slowing down those AMD processors in the process. Normally, it doesn't affect applications and games that much, but for some reason, Bioware makes funky games that get affected (both Mass Effect and Dragon Age players have experienced this).
Now, this might of course not be your problem at all, but in any case, you can attempt to disable the TLB patch by getting the phenomfix package at this address: http://www.xtremesys...ad.php?t=180338
After you've run the tlb_disable program, you should experience an increase in your fps (if the tlb patch was indeed your problem). The page I linked also has instructions on how to permanently disable the tlb patch so you won't have to manually do it whenever you start your computer,

@Aezay well I installed win 7 dual boot... and it works! I'm guessing its a software or driver thing, I don't need realtek drivers anymore. Plus its a really clean install, nothing on this OS but steam, chrome, and me2. maybe ill keep it aside as my gaming OS. Do all my work on XP and let that be the messy one.

@buymagicfish, great to hear you got it working. Would be awesome if we somehow could find out what in XP is causing this.
I made a post over here with some of the issues I remember having in xp with this problem.

Although you perhaps don't feel like it, you should really just do the final jump and convert 100% to win7, you'll have to do it eventually anyway
