[Xen-users] VT-d related wiki

[Attila Mravik <evik.gm@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

In the VTdHowTo http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo there is
the list of supported processors.
The relevant part reads as:
Intel Core i7 (Core i5 is known to cause problems with VT-d and may
not support VT-d at all)

Now according to Intel's website, the i5-600 series (32nm, 2 core/4
thread, integrated graphics) support the VT-d technology.
In the other hand, the i5-700 series (45nm, 4core/4thread, no
graphics) does not support the VT-d technology.

The line in the wiki page is confusing, does it refer to the anomaly
in the i5 family (that i5-600 supports it and i5-700 does not) or it
refers to that there are problems even with the i5-600 series
processors?

Can anyone clarify this and following that put the details into the
wiki? Would help me (and probably others) to decide what configuration
to choose for my next computer.
