Select the "Device Manager" tab, and choose "View devices by connection". Open a few things up in the tree until you find "PCI Bus". Open this up and look for something mentioning "AGP Controller". eg mine says "Intel blah blah blah Processor to AGP Controller".

I would have thought that the best way is to go into the BIOS settings when the machine starts up, normally by pressing the DEL key or something similar (it should say which key to press to run SETUP when the machine boots up). From in the BIOS settings, if your board has an AGP slot then there should be an option to enable it in the BIOS. If there is absolutely no reference to AGP anywhere then you don't have AGP. PS.
