Hi,

I was just wondering, what exactly is necessary to use IOMMU with AMD CPUs. 
From what
CPU family it's on the chip and are other things necessary, like a certain 
chipset on 
the motherboard?

I own a Gigabyte GA-M56S-S3 board and AMD 4050e CPU. I can enable/disable 
virtualization
in the BIOS. Will that be enough to switch on IOMMU and run a non-PV Windows?

BR,
Carsten.
