Not if you believe that the current range of AGP cards aren't that
much better than their PCI equivalents, have spare PCI slots anyway,
and are prepared to wait for a while to get a better AGP one in the
future (in need be).

Since I've only got one AGP slot against 4 PCIs (of which one is
used), I'm saving it for something better.
