Is there a problem if I let Steam installing 2 games at the same time?

I don't think so, it'll just be slower.

I have had steam installing up to 4 at a time (was at like 8 but I paused a bunch because they all had to download and it was sucking my bandwidth dry) with no problems (except, of course, speed).

no, my max is 650 KB/s and (I don't know why), but my Steam limits speed to 300 KB/s per game

so downloading 2 games is good =]

why take the risk, just download one game at a time.

If your max is 650KB/s then you should really do one at a time, plus you can play the first game you install while the other installs.

Oh and just because your theoretical maximum is 650KB/s doesn't mean it will go that fast and if it did you wouldn't be able to do anything else.

The installation process doesn't actually start until you run the game for the first time. There's nothing wrong with downloading multiple games.
