Arma 2 engine is based on 32bit environment, so there are technical limitations for the engine like the max. amount of memory (2 GB) and many other things.

You have to wait for a future engien which supports a 64 bit environment, which will be more efficent concerning the usage of the aforementioned hardware.

The game will only use however much it needs...it's not going to load 6GB worth of data if it only needs 2GB at that time; doing so just adds to memory leaks/errors. What you can do is make a RAMDrive, and load just key file(s) on it so it won't have to stream from your HDD as much. There's at least two (if not more) topics on how to do this in the General section of the forums if you're interested
