That means that your Video card has 512 MB VRAM while at least 896 MB are recommended.

Keep in mind this is for the best possible performance that the game was intended. First of all you need atleast 3.0ghz processor to process the data(which you have 3.3), Your video card will show signs of major fps loss, because it's the 4 series, the lowest I've seen do decent is the 6 series hd and up. they say 2 gigs of RAM is needed but i think the lowest should be four, 2 is just to play it, with very little FPS. last but not least you need a hefty HDD or SSD to index the arma files, the standard 7200rpm HDD with mechanical moving parts isn't fast enough to index the entire arma 2 files, the more dlc's you have, the more it index's. Newegg.com has tons of great deals for holidays and seeing how tomorrow is fathers day i'm sure they got something for really cheap, check it out. might find something you like.
