some pci slots do share irq's, and it is possible to have a confict arise from moving them

but that being said most likely you will be able to move them with no ill effect

and if it does cause problems you can always move them back :D

Just be careful with the first PCI slot. It usually shares IRQ with the AGP on most boards.
