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.
