So I realize this is a really old question, but no one ever answered and I wanted to put a post here in case anyone decides to replay this game, what with DA3 coming out in the near future.
The deal is, you can't enable the Large Address Aware flag while Steam still controls the game, since Steam does hash check on the executable file, which will fail if you modify it. BUT, you can use the CD key that you got with Steam, and install Dragon Age through Origin using the Redeem Product Code. Origin doesn't keep as tight a leash on the games, and DAO will run just fine with the LAA flag enabled. Hope this helps!
I realize this thread is really old, but I had a quick question. Do I need to uninstall my origins from Steam, and then reinstall the entire thing through Origin. If so, how do I keep my saves, and (if at all possible) mods intact?
Thanks.
Disregard, found instructions on how to do it and keep my saves at least.

Never noticed this one also Never knew there was an LAA for DAO. Never had an issue running the game that would need a LAA and that is me with 6GB of ram.
Hold on Rim had a LAA modification done before it was official done into the game and that ran fine with steam.
I have a LAA program that enables it for ANY game, I wasn't aware there were some out there that only do it for individual games.
And neat trick about Origin! May have to look into that on my next playthrough!

I actaully see no need for the LAA at all.
