Same thing happens to a mate with a kickass comp. I bet ya it's not the game, but good old trusty WinDOHs. Probably using all your memory to run 95 useless processes.

Check these articles out and make sure your virtual memory is setup correctly as well, having 8GB or RAM does not cpmpletely remove the need for VM.

That being said I have 2GB or RAM and haven't had this issue with ArmA2 or ArmA2 OA, stock or beta.

The out of memory error could be happening due to the wrong RAM timings or overclocking RAM etc.

I have 6gb of RAM and my pagefile is disabled so an amount of my RAM will be used dynamically as VM/pagefile, after 2 hours or so of playing A2/OA and loading different maps/missions my available/free RAM is 0mb and I get no errors as the portion used by VM is being purged of the least used oldest data with more often used files relating to A2/OA just like your pagefile would, as my RAM is not generating errors 100% of my RAM can be addressed without error, if your PC can only address 99.99% or less of your RAM without error then sooner or later that >0.01% that cannot be addressed due to error WILL be tried to be used by your PC unsuccessfully causing an out of memory error.

just a thought.
