Salamandras

I've been reading up about DayZ and watching videos and i'm absolutely in love, only problem, my PC can't even play ArmA II Free, let alone the full version with a mod added, so i'm gonna wait. I'm getting a new gaming pc in a couple months, and i'm wondering if the game will still be active then and updated and not be just another 15mins of fame game, if i come back later, will i still find full servers and a large playerbase? Along with active patches and updates? Thanks:rolleyes:.
