Intel Desktop Board D815EPFV
Compact Intel Socket 370 platform for Pentium III/Celeron processors using the 815EP chipset. D815EPFV is the microATX board without integrated graphics; it is not D815EFV.
Exact identity and revision: Intel Desktop Board D815EPFV; Intel family Product Guide A52560-002 and standard BIOS ID EA81520A.86A. Read the specimen's AA/PCB revision and BIOS ID before choosing a processor or update file.

Compatibility and revision notes
Because 815EP has no integrated graphics, an AGP card is necessary; check voltage keying against the slot before fitting a card. The shared Intel guide distinguishes EPFV from EFV. CPU, RAM, case, and firmware decisions must follow the printed board model and AA revision.
