Afaik there are no AMD boards with an IOMMU capable of passing through 
devices to an HVM guest, so Vt-d (which is an Intel-term) is your only 
choice for now.
Supported (or better "working", since almost no vendor gives official 
VT-d support with Xen) boards can be found here:

Hi Velten,

Your best bet would be Intel Desktop Board DQ45CB. Tried and tested.

Hi,

Only the very latest AMD boards using the AMD SR56X0 chipsets (Or to be more
specific the SP5100 southbridge that goes with them) support PCI Passthrough.
Here are a couple of examples:
http://www.tyan.com/product_SKU_spec.aspx?ProductType=MB&pid=647&SKU=600000127
http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron2000/SR56x0/H8DA6+.cfm
http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron8000/SR56x0/H8QI6-F.cfm
http://www.tyan.com/product_board_detail.aspx?pid=651

I suspect you need a fairly recent kernel and Xen version for these boards to
work but maybe someone on the list knows the specifics.

I''ve a member in Singapore hardwarezone.com forums who told me he has a
P55
chipset board with VT and VT-d options in the BIOS.

But he didn''t tell me the brand/model of the board.

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):

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.

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chipset supports VT-d too, as do Q35, Q45, X38, and X48 which are outdated.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.

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.

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=http%3A%2F%2Fdownloadmirror.intel.com%2F18171%2Feng%2FKG_3822_ReleaseNotes.pdf&rct=j&q=dp55kg+vt-d&ei=W-3uSqOgGMWPkQWA-p2XDw&usg=AFQjCNE7byyUr9G9Vs5-6BDd-r2vCmK5zQ

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.

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=http%3A%2F%2Fdownloadmirror.intel.com%2F18171%2Feng%2FKG_3822_ReleaseNotes.pdf&rct=j&q=dp55kg+vt-d&ei=W-3uSqOgGMWPkQWA-p2XDw&usg=AFQjCNE7byyUr9G9Vs5-6BDd-r2vCmK5zQ

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.

	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 All,

I have received a BIOS screenshot from member clon22 in
hardwarezone.com.sghardware clinic forum.

His motherboard is MSI P55-GD80. It costs about S$300++ in Singapore.

BIOS screenshot showing the VT-d option is here:

cool,

here in Germany you can get the MSI for 175€ and the DP55KG also for about 175€

But the MSI with the heatpipe is more for overclocking users, so i will order
the DP55KG
within the next days

>     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.

>>    Dear Velten,

>>    Below is the link to a Intel DP55KG motherboard review by
>>    motherboards.org <http://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.
