Overclocking
Overclocking was performed using Rivatuner. At no point was any other tool or mod used other than simply raising the clock speeds in Riva.
I did the best "quick OC" I could, running 3DMark06 as a performance and stability benchmark.
Results
The results were as follows:
As you can see the overclocks on the ATI cards varied a little, but generally were pretty decent. Here the "Pro" version of the cards did very well.
3DMark06 Overclocked
Let's see the difference a little overclock makes shall we?

A nice difference in scores for the two cards there...but I'm not sure the overclocking alone is enough to dig them out of their 3DMark mire.

No one is mentioning the fact that the 2600 is available in AGP and the 8600 is not. I dont use AGP but if you go to Valves system information page you will see that close to 40% of all the people using Valve still use a video card plugged into an AGP slot.
The fact that the 2600 comes in AGP is a HUGE advantage that Nvidia is simply overlooking.

Honestly? I'd prefer an older DX9 card over the 2600 series
