Intel Desktop Board D815EGEW
Intel microATX board for Socket 370 Pentium III/Celeron processors. Its 815EG chipset supplies integrated video; the D815EGEW layout is not the same as other 815E/EP board variants.
Exact identity and revision: Intel Desktop Board D815EGEW; Intel Product Guide revision -001 and BIOS family EW81510A.86A. Confirm the board's AA number and BIOS ID before CPU selection or firmware recovery.

Compatibility and revision notes
The integrated video is part of the 815EG platform. Since this model has no AGP slot, do not plan an AGP upgrade; verify any PCI graphics card instead. Use the D815EGEW manual and BIOS family, not firmware for D815EEA/EPFV. Confirm microATX mounting and optional LAN presence on the physical board.
