The manual is irrelevant – Ubuntu/Mint auto-detects all hardware except the NVIDIA graphics (use nouveau or legacy 340.x driver). Part 8: Frequently Asked Questions (From Manual Readers) Q: Does this board support 8GB of RAM? A: No. The NVIDIA MCP61 memory controller has a hard limit of 4GB (2x2GB sticks). Using 4GB modules will not POST.
A: Unlike the manual's diagram, the RC415T-AM uses an Intel HD Audio pinout, not AC'97. Check your case’s connector type. Reboot into BIOS > Advanced > Onboard Devices > set "Front Panel Type" to "HD Audio". rc415t-am motherboard manual

The manual does not cover this, but community mods exist. Use the Snappy Driver Installer (SDI) tool to find unsigned nForce drivers for Windows 10. Warning: No official support; expect no ACPI sleep or GPU acceleration.
A: The manual photo shows it between the PCIe x16 slot and the SATA connectors. It's a 3-pin jumper labeled CLR_CMOS or JBAT1 .
A: Yes, but slowly. The 6150SE graphics have no WDDM 2.0 driver. Install Windows 10 32-bit, disable Aero, and use basic display adapter. The manual warns: Not recommended for daily use.
