Then by all evidence, 
% dmesg | grep -i agp
agp0: <SiS 651 host to AGP bridge> on hostb0

hostb0 at pci0:0:0:0:      class=0x060000 card=0x1801147b chip=0x06511039 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS)'
    device     = 'SiS651 Host-to-PCI Bridge'
    class      = bridge
    subclass   = HOST-PCI

it must be the SiS 651 chipset
