You can get all the info with an Intrepid LiveCD. Boot it up (either into graphic mode or some recovery mode) and then edit the xorg.conf to set the AGPMode and restart X.

Since it's a hand-built system, don't worry about the questions about factory stuff. But BIOS settings are quite relevant here.
