You don't have a lot of video memory but open the NVidia control panal and turn up your antialiasing settings then set it to over-ride any application.  Get it as high as you can without losing too much in frame rates.  Also set vsync to force on.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

8600 is more than able to run every detail AH2 can provide for it.

I wouldn't recomment 16x FSAA though, it's just asking too much from that card.

4x is more than enough FSAA for most monitors/resolutions.
