Intel Fixes VT-d Bug in Sandy Bridge-E CPUs

[Guest]

Thank goodness I didn't get that 3930k to run Xen on then...

lradunovic77 and emike09-- I can't believe this is only in the BIOS, since Intel's ARK shows VT-d is unavailable for these chips now. Can someone please follow up on this article, now that the C2 is out for two plus weeks? I would very much like to know if VT-d is working.

Yes, the ark site doesn't show VT-d available on these. What's up? Is there a way to get a list of CPUs and boards that support VT-d?

After more research, I think Intel intentionally disables VT-d on K parts. Looks like we cannot have unlocked multiplies and VT-d. Seems arbitrary and illogical, considering the premium paid for enthusiast chips.
