Aside from the screenshot of that bug, please note that some of the listed hard- and software components are known to cause trouble beyond belief ;) In the forums you will find many reports of users who experienced a _great_ increase in performance after migrating their rig to windows seven. Vista isn't the best option for gaming, i think, but according to many users definitely not for Arma2. Your amount of RAM may cause a misdetection of your video card memory (localVRAM) and RAM-memory which is set aside for graphical uses (nonlocalVRAM). There is a thread with a nice workaround to which ill add a link via edit. Least, you should check the forums if there are issues known which are related to your gfx-card. I'm no ATI-owner, so I personaly do not care (means: do not read) about ATI-related threads. But, MadDogX already said, without a detailed description of the bug - aside from bad performance - helping you may prove hard.
