I think BFG is one of the few that sells pre overclocked cards although
it is only by 5 or 10% so nothing too major.  Mine is the 128MB version.
There is also a 256MB version of the 6600GT OC.  Any 6600GT is a decent
card.

The 7800GS cards are also not that expensive anymore.  The 7600GS is
about half of the 7800GS.  The 7600 GS is slightly lower clock than a
6600 GT, but has 12 rather than 8 pipelines.  A 512MB BFG 7600 GS OC
AGP can be had for $175.  A 7800GS is faster memory but slightly slower
GPU than a 6600GT.

It all comes down to finding a balance that works for you application in
terms of:
GPU clock
Memory clock
Memory quantity
Pixel pipelines
Texture units
Shader units
Price you are willing to spend
