Does this mean that the only thing I need to get to run it fast and with high quality is a new video card?  Does anyone have any suggestions for video cards?  Also seeing what I have, will my comp be able to run Mass Effect 2 well?  I want to run it with the best graphics possible.

Yes.  Please see these references:

This is a rare occasion when that particular web site provided an accurate report.  Generally, they are just far too error-prone to ever waste much time with!

A lot of good information about video cards and PCs was already provided in the prior Tech thread, about how to choose a new system:

My opinion is that little that is
priced below about $1500 is likely to be of much gaming use if it's a
laptop, whereas for as little as $700 or so, you can assemble your own
desktop PC that will be just fine as a Mainline level (Medium) gaming
platform (also available preassembled for about $1000). A laptop to
replace a High End, full out gaming desktop is more like $2500, and I
just saw a Digital Storm gaming PC advertised for $1600, so about $900
separates the high end, instead of about $400 - $500.

Here is a Gateway PC for $930 that fills the Medium Level requirement:

Before
turning your back on that obne, you need to look at the very last
update to this article published on the Dragon Age forums:

That's
about the pitfalls of buying a cheap laptiop without enough cooling
capacity, with the front end being the basics of choosing a desktop
video card. 

Here are the basics of selecting parts (and identifying components) for a gaming system:

Last
of all is the story about the serious difference between a cheap
onboard video chip and the real thing, an actual video card:

woah jeez



you have 3.2GB of video ram?

I imagine the 3200 is an onboard chip that simply steals from the main RAM pool for its memory. So it doesn't actually have any VRAM at all, that's just the system memory being reported as such.
