Please check the minimum requirements for ARMA2.

• Processor: Dual Core CPU for Intel or AMD
  
• Memory/RAM: 1 GB
  
• Video Card: Nvidia Geforce 7800 / ATI Radeon 1800 or faster with Shader Model 3 and 256 MB VRAM
  
• Hard Disk Space: 10 GB
  
• Operating System: Windows XP or Windows Vista
  

Best will in the world, you're cutting it fine. Up your CPU, RAM & GPU. Also Vista is a heap. Window 7 so far is far less resource intensive.

Hello there

Try Arma2Free and see if that runs well, as it uses the same engine, albeit at a reduced quality.

If it does, you may be able to run DAYZ. (OA/Dayz take up a bit more processing power)

Sorry to say the 6150 LE is integrated graphics, and quite old and weak at that. Your cpu is very weak as well, but could squeak by if you had a dedicated gpu (a GTX 460 is probably the maximum card that your cpu could feed). However, that would likely require a new power supply unit of around 500 watts and PCI-E connectors. You'd also want at least 4GB of ram, which in turn would require a 64-bit OS to fully utilize....and I think you see where this is going. Bottom line is by the time you upgrade your current system sufficiently to play the game at low-medium settings, you'd be halfway, costwise, to building a modern, and vastly more powerful pc.

I tried this game on an old 520 and ran it about 20fps on very low, and that's a dedicated card. I would not suggest you buy the game.

Save your money for the standalone. It'll be out in a couple months, and it will have optimizations.
