Answer:
Re: Hd 2600
7600gois not = 8600gt at all.
mabye 7900~=8600gt
I think the 2600 is slighty less powerful than these two.

Re: Hd 2600
Unfortunately there is still no confirmed info about its real performance... I think it will be something around 8600GT...
However, i also hope the XT will be much faster and outperform even 8700GT ;-)

Re: Hd 2600
HD2600>8600GT>8600GS=7600Go.
The HD2600 scores 4000 3dmark06 points, the 8600GT scores 3600-3800. The 8600GS scores around 2200 3dmark06 points, which is equal to an 7600Go actually.
Saying that the HD2600 is better then the 8600GT is actually wrong, it can be a driver issue from nVidia which results in a lower score.

Re: Hd 2600
well, for an upgrade from an ati 200m express to an HD 2600, i wouldnt really care if it was less than the 7600 lol. maybe in a couple more years i'll buy another laptop w/ a better graphics card than the hd 2600, because as of right now the HD 2600 seems to be a reallly good replacement of the ati readeon 200m express graphics card. am i right?

No, the HD 2000 serie is known to perform very well on sympathetic benchworks, but in real world gaming it is actually 10%-20% slower than the G8000. So the HD2600XT might score higher but when running games, it is 10%-20% slower than the 8600GT. Of course this is a guess base on the performance of desktop version of the HD2000s.

Re: Hd 2600
Marioparty you can't compare enthusiast cards with mainstream cards. Nobody knows how it is going to perform yet as the desktop version hasn't even been released. If you also recall that was exactly the case with the 8500/8600 series. The 8600GTS scored 2000 3Dmark06 points higher than the 7900gs but couldn't keep up with it in actual gaming scores at anything higher than low resolution/low settings because of its very narrow memory bus.
Not to mention you can pick up an x1950xt/7950gt for $10 more to get double the performance...Compared to the 6600/7600 (cards that beat previous generation high-end) the 8600 has been a failure in most peoples eyes which is why 90% of reviews were negative.
edit: Also that was the HD2600xt in a 20" laptop that got 4000 points, nobody knows what the regular HD2600 is going to be like.

Re: Hd 2600
I read from the PC PRO magazine UK edition, I read that the new ATI 2600 series will outperform some of the best DX 9 graphics cards. Running on Dx 10, it had some better scores than the DX 9 cards. I forgot which dx 9 cards, but it was one of the best ones available.

Re: Hd 2600
Preliminary HD 2600XT on the desktop shows it in poor light compared to the 8600GTS (and no, I don't mean your 3DMark game, I mean real game performance). In turn, as link1313 said, the 8600GTS would seem to easily outperform the 7900GS, X1950 Pro, etc on the desktop, according to 3DMark, but loses in real games.
