weeeeell ... guess what this AGP thing is about ... yes ... the graphics card borrowing system memory for its own behalf, using a fast access method across the bus.

This works for integrated pseudo-AGP graphics as well as for discrete ones. The former will not experience as much of a speed difference from their "own" ram to borrowed ram, but a discrete graphics card certainly will.
