In theory it should work the same when it gets hot.
I personally don't have any experience with the "rack mount" configuration
next to my desk.

Mayeb you are confusing AGP with regular PCI slots?
All the J-class systems only have "regular" PCI slots. The J6700 only
has 64-bit 66Mhz PCI slots: http://www.ccns.pl/zasoby/13/j6700.pdf
32-bit PCI cards can plug into those slots as well.

Becuase the PC-x86 world switched to AGP as soon as PC chipsets started
shipping with AGP support. j6700 was the last of the PA8700 workstations
using Astro/Elroy chipset which could support AGP (IIRC).
AFAIK, the only parisc machine with AGP is C8000.
