[Xen-users] Re: Motherboard capable of VT-d

[Christian Tramnitz <chris.ace@xxxxxxx>]

I had a case open with Gigabyte some time ago asking for vt-d support on 
X38 and they told me that vt-d support is not planned for any of their 
boards, so I'd suggest to stay away from them.
Asus might be even worse, allowing you to enable vt-d in the BIOS but 
then telling you it's unsupported when it doesn't work.
If you really need vt-d I'd suggest to go with Intel boards for now...


Best regards,
