no

With Win2K for your OS the answer is "no" with the caveat that you obviously don't use the PCI slot immediately adjacent to the AGP slot. (Assuming you have an AGP video card.)

Dan,
what is the problem of using the slot next to the AGP?

They are shared. (in most default situations)

Typically on mainboards the AGP and PCI slot 1 are shared. Other PCI slots share in pairs.
