Nope. PCI vs AGP really doesn't make that much of a huge difference. It'll be
noticeable, certainly, but the effect will probably be mostly ignoreable; you
should have no trouble running in 1024x768. The game does slow down to the
lowest common denominator in multiplayer but there are other factors. If you
have AI players, that can have a huge effect. You can benchmark your system; you
should aim to have 20 frames per second when playing a 1 on 1 skirmish game.
Tune the settings to achieve this and your friends should no longer blame you
for any speed issues (to see your FPS in generals, use a tool like
