The X1950 has much higher memory bandwidth due to the 256-bit bus vs the 2600 XT's 128-bit bus.

The X1950 is the better card at higher resolutions or with AA applied, but the 2600 XT is almost as good without AA in many cases, and cheaper.

Either is a pretty good choice. Depends on the res you want to play at, if it's above 1280x1024, the X1950 is the way to go.

The X1950 is also the way to go if you want to play at 1280x1024 with 4xAA...
