I went on http://www.systemrequirementslab.com to find out whether or not I can play ARMA2 with dayz and it said I failed, what i was interested in is the fact that is said the video card needed was :
NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT or ATI Radeon HD 3650 or faster with Shader Model 3 and 512 MB VRAM
and i Have: ATI Radeon HD 4350
isn't that faster? what's the problem?

even if it turns out I can play this on my desktop, I'm still really hard pressed for cash.

I went passed the recommended settings for ArmA:II on my laptop. I am able to run it 15-30 FPS.

Put all your settings on low and continue from there.
(Get the demo and try it out. It is free, obviously.)

A ATI Radeon HD 3650 has 120 Stream (GPU) Processors running GDDR2
However a ATI Radeon HD 4350 has 80 Stream (GPU) Processors GDDR2.

I looked up some gameplay about your graphics card and people are playing Far Cry 2 and Battlefield 3 which are known to be very resource demanding. When it can run on a high demanding game on your low end graphics card chances are you might be lucky.

Newer graphics cards don't always tell if it is faster than the previous generations. Do what Oink said set the settings to low also make sure you also download/update to the latest DirectX and AMD video drivers.
You can also try the AMD/ATI Catalyst Control Center and set the Graphics Card setting to high performance.
