I think you might be confusing AGP with a feature present
in some on-board vga chipsets - the ability to use the main
memory as video memory. Present in some S3/cirus logic
chipsets, when found on-board on OEM boards, or as part of
the i810 chipset (Intel's crap 752 vda).

Anyhow, there is no support for AGP in nVidia's drivers,
and they don't release any specs as Matrox does. They do
release drivers (X), however - so maybe you'll get AGP support
sometime later on.
