I would say that my CPU is my downfall here, but during game play it is only at %50 usage.

The only item of my PC that has trouble when running the game is my RAM, usually %90+ usage.

Not sure if the problem is Wasteland Server oriented or me not having enough RAM?
There are many Phenom II X4s...
Also, it's not really about how much your overall usage percentage is.
Remember, if bases are big in wasteland, you will lag quite a bit. Each object has a lot of polygons, so does the ground despite it's harsh colors. There is a lot of bump mapping in ARMA 2.
Did you know that the BAF/reinforcements pack actually IMPROVES your FPS?
You can p1rate it and install it and it will work with arma 2 OA online.

Either way, your RAM is def. a bottle neck, specially if it's not CAS 9 @ 1600mhz or CAS 7 @ 1333MHZ.

Also, consider getting an SSD for Arma 2.
Anyway,
