By all means just get another X600, if you're happy with the one you're currently using.
But you certainly don't need to use another X600? As long as you get an ATI Radeon, there won't be a problem installing a different model card alongside the X600.
As for the requirement to upgrade the PSU: Maybe... maybe not? It depends on a couple of things:
1. What PSU you've got in there just now?
2. What the second graphics card you get is?
Newer cards are very power hungry, but I doubt you'll be considering anything like (i.e.) a HD4870, right :emotion-55:
Assuming the PSU in your system is something in the order of 250w - 300w, I doubt you'll have any problems at all installing a second X600 :emotion-5:
Thank you very much for the quick post and your assistance. I am not using the system for gaming or anything just to look at stocks. So I took your advice and ordered an ATI Radeon card. It should be here in a couple days and hopefully I can install and be good to go.
Thanks again for the great info and idea:emotion-2:

You're welcome Chris :emotion-21:
Did you go for another X600, or a different card? Be sure to let us know how you get on anyway, whatever card it is :emotion-5:
