Waccoon: Embedded chips use "Whatever memory is cheapest and uses Less power" .. Besides this PowerQiuiccII cpu has only 64Kbyte caches so having fast memory controller is essential for good CPU utilization.
So it makes sense.. Perhaps not as an Desktop computer point of view, but One has to remember that this ain't (and never has been intended) to desktop CPU. Most of embedded systems don't need AGP8* or multilane PCIexpress bandwidth for graphics, in fact most embedded today don't have Grafix at all...
...and besides, since the apparent demise of MAI, to my knowledge, no one produces an AGP capable Northbridge chipset for the PowerPC family.
