Definitely keep us posted, I was a Gigabyte fan until I started usingXen. 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 toavoid '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 supportback in. Same board, HVM switched on... $50 extra.
