[SOLVED] Hi! (please click it)

Can the chipset support what it can't support on a cpu feature?
Like, for example, the intel chipset chief hm76 cannot support the "Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d)" but a specific cpu can support it, that specific cpu has the same compatible socket on ur mobo and there is a list where the chipset can support it. but the cpu has a support for that kind of feature and the chipset has no support of that kind of feature. So is it still compatible with the chipset? Even that kind cpu has the same socket and is listed in the "compatible CPU for the chipset" list... Sorry for my bad english grammar...

You can use any CPU with any compatible chipset and the appropriate BIOS loaded on the motherboard. However, some CPU features like VT-d and overclocking are only enabled when combined with specific chipsets. If you actually need those features, then you will need to switch to a motherboard with a chipset that Intel has enabled that feature with.

This is mostly Intel being greedy and creating artificial market segmentation for profit.
