They won't run at all. Your system is just too up to date.

I'm sorry but when I saw that you can't run any of them and your answer is like what do you mean and all I just had to LOL so hard that I fell out of my chair. Now that was funny.

because im only 15 and dont have all that money at one time. it was more economic to get the 2 8600GTS's...

although i am worried that i may have problems. When im in a tank in BF2 and look at alot of buildings, it starts chugging. Im running this at full settings with 8x AA 16x AF and Vertical Sync on.

It's the 8600's fault. Sorry, but they're crap for gaming, SLI not withstanding. A single 8800GT/GTX will slaughter them. Get a job/loan and a GT/GTX or two, THEN you'll be top dog.
