for anybody who cares :)


The cheaper DP55WB also supports VT-D since Release 0142

   Sounds good, P55 can definitely support VT-d so if Intel have added

   After a bit of Googling I heard mention that quite a few of the
   ASRock P55 boards support VT-d too.

   Hi Velten,

   I have done more research on Google and it is hopeful that DP55KG
   will support VT-d.

   Please refer to the following link:

   http://www.google.com.sg/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=5&ved=0CBgQFjAE&url="">
   <http://www.google.com.sg/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=5&ved=0CBgQFjAE&url="">>

   Please refer to Page 2.

   PRODUCTS: DP55KG, DP55SB, DP55WG (Standard BIOS)

   BIOS Version 3712

   New Fixes/Features:

   Added the capability to show/hide the Vt and Vt-d setup option.

   Dear Velten,

   Below is the link to a Intel DP55KG motherboard review by

   motherboards.org <http://motherboards.org>. This link shows the BIOS

   screenshot of DP55KG.

   http://www.motherboards.org/imageview.html?i=/images/reviews/motherboards/1948_p5_13.jpg

   As you can see in the image, there is the line that says: Intel VT
   for Directed I/O (VT-d). But there's no option for you to enable or
   disable the feature.

   I am wondering if you must enable Intel VT *first* before you can
   enable or disable VT-d.

   To enable VT, you need to have a processor that supports VT. The P55
   chipset definitely supports VT-d.

   I don't think Intel put VT-d line in the BIOS for fun.

       P55 chipset boards use the new Socket LGA1156. This socket
       supports both Core i5 and Core i7.
               You should definitely get this instead of the older X58 chipset
       boards which use socket LGA1366. Socket LGA1366 only supports
       Core i7, not Core i5. X58 chipset supports VT-d too, as do Q35,
       Q45, X38, and X48 which are outdated.

       Intel releases P55 after X58.

           very interessting, but i want more than one pci classic slot



           So i was looking for more informations, and find out that
           there a low-budget iCore System without Hypermode, Turbo
           Boost and VT-d, in most for iCore5

           http://www.pctreiber.net/news/44-prozessoren/472-ueberblick-ueber-kommende-intel-cpus-
           http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Intel-Core-i3-i5-i7-Produktbezeichungen-und-Preise-durchgesickert-750777.html

           So i'm not sure what i should do, an "old" Q45 with an
           OuadCore is nearly the same price than a iCore7 with P55 Board.

           So i will try to find more informations about the DP55KG
           Extreme Board with vt-d, but with iCore7 it should be possible.

              Hi Velten,

              VT-d support is not mentioned in the tech spec for the
           dp55kg so I
              would not risk it unless some one here has tried it and
           knows it works.

              Server equivalent like one of these would be a better
           choice (They
              specifically support VT-d):
