Definitely keep us posted, I was a Gigabyte fan until I started using Xen. Now I won't buy their products until they have support for HV.

I got another response yesterday saying they would ask engineering if that
board can support virtualization. I'm now eagerly awaiting the response from
the engineers.

Not very impressive from them though... they've gone out of their way to avoid 'supporting' virtualisation. The CPU supports it by default - they've actively switched it off.

Sounds like a marketing trick to charge a premium to put the support back in. Same board, HVM switched on... $50 extra.
