I'm looking for a desktop board that supports either VT-D (Intel) or IOMMU (AMD) technology. This is the IO virtualization technology, not VT-x for CPU virtualization. I've found a list of chipsets that are purported to have this, but every board I look at, the vendor has decided to not support that feature. I would really prefer a desktop board over a server board for this. Does anyone have a specific model that is known to support this technology?

Look at http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo , consumer boards are hit and miss but server boards are always work. I would use the parts recommended here napp-it.org/napp-it/all-in-one/index_en.html. The Supermicro X8SIL-F is a good choice. | |||

My board has the feature. Never tried virtualization, so I cannot give you feedback on how it performs in practice, but I am absolutely sure you can enable it (just checked the user guide and yes it has a BIOS item for enabling VT-d). The board is the Asus P6X58D Premium, for LGA 1366 processors. | |||

There are currently 6 desktop boards that support VT-d listed by Intel: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-030922.htm | |||
