Thanks man. Yeah, hopefully it should run fine. I know it's not the most optimized game out there but hopefully sheer power will overcome that.
When reading, I heard that even SSD is not fast enough for ARMA 2. I currently have all OS and main app files on SSD, while all my game files (400GB!) are on my fast HDD arrey(150mb/s). Since OS files are all being loaded from SSD, this frees up some usage of the hard drive and every other game I have loads nearly as fast as my laptop with OS and games on the SSD(1-5 seconds slower in WoW). Eventually I'm probably going to get 8GB more ram for ARMA 2, so I can load all the game files into ramdisk.
FWIW, I haven't tried ramdisk, but I don't see any reason to try it since the game runs perfectly fine from a ssd.
Anyone here at guru3d (just incase you didnt know where you are) have any suggetions for ArmA 2 Operation ArrowHead mods. cheers
If you're playing online you gotta have the same mods as the server. In singleplayer all mods up for grabs ofcourse.. I think my favorite mods are TPWC AI Suppression System - you can keep ai pinned down with suppressing fire, makes a big difference. It can be used with ASR AI which is a good general ai improvement mod JSRS soundmod - there's a new 1.5 version coming soon, very nice sounds ACE - general realism overhaul
