Welcome to the forums!

The 8600 GTS will be noticeably faster than the HD 2600 Pro.
To be honest though, both of these cards are extremely dated and underpowered by current standards and I would not recommend spending anything to obtain either.
What ever budget you have, no matter how tight, should be saved for a much more modern card.

its marginally worse. but in reality both are to weak for todays games. both register at around 250 on pass mark, while a 9800gt which is minimum recommended spec for new games pushes 700+
the 650ti recomended as the minimum you actually want to buy if your a gamer today, pushes 2700+.
the gtx 780 rocks near enough 8000 points.

i just gave these as an example of how far back the 2600pro and 8600 are and neither are worth your money.
