Re: [Xen-users] PCI Passthrough to Windows DomU with iCore and P55chips
Hi All,
I have received a BIOS screenshot from member clon22 in hardwarezone.com.sg hardware clinic forum.
His motherboard is MSI P55-GD80. It costs about S$300++ in Singapore.
BIOS screenshot showing the VT-d option is here:

Sounds good, P55 can definitely support VT-d so if Intel have
added bios support then it should work fine.
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="">
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. 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.
2009/11/2 Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) <space.time.universe@xxxxxxxxx>
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chipset supports VT-d too, as do Q35, Q45, X38, and X48 which are outdated.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):
