He's not refering to the slot the card plugs into when he says 
AGP, but the actual chip design.  The Radeon chips are AGP chips.  
The PCI Radeon is an AGP chip on a PCI card.

AGP is a PCI extension, so all AGP hardware is PCI hardware.

Hmm.  Is this the ATI Radeon IGP?  (I haven't read the entire 
rest of the thread)

If this is the Radeon IGP, Alan Cox has expressed an interest in 
working with this chip, although I don't know if it was for the 
video features or the other hardware.  I'll see if I can come up 
with more information.
