Just picked up a 6800 GT to replace my 9700Pro and I'm not too privy on what
tools to use when overclocking an Nvidia card.  Any suggestions?

We have one built in!  You need to put a registry entry in first and  
then a tab will show up.
 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\NVidia Corporation\Global\NVTweak
 
New Dword:  Coolbits = 3

Hmmm I added that Dword and rebooted but unfortunately I'm not seeing the
new tab :{
 
I'm running 61.77 drivers for XP if that matters.

I added it to the registry, and it was available immediately, without  
restarting. It's not really a new tab, but a new selection in the  
slide-out panel on the GeForceFX tab which is under the advanced button  
in the Settings tab in the display properties. (does that make sense?  
Display Properties --> Settings --> Advanced --> GeforceFX XXXX -->  
(expand first entry [GeforceFX XXXX] --> Clock Frequencies)
 
I don't know which drivers I'm using, but I got the newest ones about 2  
months ago. I can't find where it tells you.

It says which drivers you are using right on the page above, in the area
that says coincidentally "version"
 
its the last 4 digits x.xx.xx.6177

Use Rivatuner. It goes as far as giving you several options to adjust the
clock speed precision.
