Sure. There are various places to get this info. Sometimes the BIOS 
startup messages contain a hint on the chipset (like 865, 915 and so on).
My dmesg also shows:

agp0: <Intel 82865 host to AGP bridge> on hostb0

And you can also use pciconf -v -l

hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = '82865G/PE/P, 82848P DRAM Controller / Host-Hub Interface'
    class      = bridge
    subclass   = HOST-PCI

Considering that you are running an older P4, probably socket 478, 
chances are you are using an 845 or 848 or 865 chipset.
