Dont know how well a 3650 does but it doesnt take much to beat a 2600XT, its pretty much a crap card. Think even a old 7600GT will beat it.
 
The 2600 is pretty much a dog, dont know about it being 30% faster than a 8600GT. Most benchmarks even the 7600GT beat it or is on par with it. But I do agree I would not get a 8600GT or 2600XT. Check these out.

in 3DMARK06 (1280x1024x32, 4x AA, 8x AF, Default Quality) the 2600XT 256M GDDR4 gets 1235 an the 8600GT gets 954
 
2600xt is a lowly card. 3650 is even lower.

if you going with med-end cards.... go with 8600gts
