Compatibility and revision notes
This 815E model provides onboard graphics; the related D815EPEA2 uses 815EP and has no integrated video. Do not flash across those models. Use only 168-pin SDRAM supported by the memory table; match processor stepping and minimum BIOS to the board's AA marking. Case fit also depends on standoffs and the rear-I/O shield.
