I was thinking of getting this, so I looked at the requirements.

DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c
Hard Drive: 3 GB of free space

Recommended:

Processor: 3 GHz or better Intel or AMD processor, or equivalent. Game is functional on, but currently not optimized for, Dual-core CPU's.
Memory: 1 GB of RAM
Graphics: nVidia 6800 or better with at least 256 MB of onboard RAM, ATI X800 or better with at least 256 MB of onboard RAM


My graphics card has 246 MB , yet it's an Intel Chipset Family. I have 2GB of RAM, and a 2GHz Intel Processor. Not sure if I can run it, but this is why i'm asking you.

If you're getting Arma, get 2. Greatest Military sim I've ever played. I highly suggest getting the Demo on Steam to try to run it first.

I would, but since my computer runs Rigs of Rods on low setting at only 20 Fps, I doubt that Arma 2 will even start. Not to mention the fact that it's poorly optimized.

Arma 2 runs better on my friends computer then Arma 1 did.

Downloading the demo, hoping it'll work, and I looked at the requirements, not looking too good for me.

You really should consider upgrading your computer then spending money on games that won't work.

I'm buying a new computer when I get enough money. Probably gonna be a Dimension E520 with a Nvidia 9500 GT.

Custom built are always better, pre-packaged stuff is never a good choice. Some stores do custom built computers for a small price (For the building it for you), last computer I got was custom built to my specifications and price range, still using it today with half the crap changed over time.

This'll be custom built, the E520 doesn't normally come with a Nvidia 9500 GT or 5gb of ram.

I tried the demo, didn't work. Hell, it didn't even start. It needs pixel shader 3.0 I have 2.0.
