This is dependent on many factors:
The slot next to the AGP usually shares interrupt with AGP--for a network card this is bad juju. If ACPI is activated in BIOS it stacks every possible piece of hardware on the same IRQ if it can--wait til the kernel has ACPI support for real. (Hint: about one more year). This is what happens with standards imposed by hardware makers (in this case Intel) rather than developed in the open standards process. Civileme
