Nope, I stand corrected. Sorry qubit, but the chipset (for whatever reason), must still support VT-d, in this day and age. Anyone who wants VT-d support, regardless if you have a non-K series CPU or not, will require a board with the Q67 or Q77 chipset, not the 'enthusiast' Z77 chipset. Sigh. I searched high and low for this information when I researched my build, and yet I find it many months after the fact.... goddammit
.... bit of a 'rookie error'
Thanks for doing that research for me. I knew with Intel it wouldn't be that simple.
I don't understand why they play games with this feature though. I suspect it's to protect sales of SB-E which has it, perhaps? All they have to do is price the products accordingly. Set a nice premium on VT-d and be done with it.
