Mass Affinity, a program that helps with the long load times bug sometimes experienced with duo-core processors. (2019 note -- this is probably not needed anymore unless you're on what would be considered an old machine in 2010. But the link still works!)

Q) Why is this game loading SO SLOW on PC?
A) Goon regulargonzalez has advice:
The Unreal engine has a bug with C2D cpus where loads can take 10x longer than normal. If it takes more than a 3-4 seconds to use the elevator in the Normandy and you have a C2D, here's how to fix it:
1. Start ME2
2. Alt tab, bring up Task Manager, find the MassEffect2 process, remove affinity from CPU 0, click OK.
3. Put the tickmark back by CPU 0 (should have them both ticked now), click OK.
4. Alt-tab back to the game, and your loads should be fast again!

Also note: Mass Affinity, which is linked above, will do this for you automatically.
