Page 13 highlights

Intel® Desktop Board D915GVWB Specification Update 3. The placement of capacitors behind the PCI Express* x1 connector slot may prohibit some PCI Express x1 add-in cards from properly connecting to the motherboard. PROBLEM: Due to the design and placement of the audio circuitry on this motherboard, it was necessary to position capacitors in the keep-out zone behind the PCI Express* x1 connector slot. IMPLICATION: Some PCI Express x1 add-in cards may not fully connect to the PCI Express x1 connector slot, due to interference between capacitors in the keep-out zone and I/O connectors on the add-in card that are located on the I/O bracket, in line with the edge fingers on the card. WORKAROUND: None STATUS: MAY BE FIXED IN A LATER HARDWARE REVISION. 7
