Looking at that link, I see the board on the Intel
*VT* list, NOT the *VT with Directed I/O* (aka, VT-d) list. The
VT list is presumably referring just to VT-x (virtualization
extensions), and they are not being listed as supporting VT-d
(IOMMU).
I can't speak much about the motherboard stuff, but for the
processor, if you're going Intel, ark.intel.com will tell you if a
processor supports VT-d or not.
Processor support alone is not enough for VT-d. VT-d must be also
supported and enabled on the chipset (and therefore, the mainboard
BIOS/EFI).
It's sometimes hard to find resources if a mainboard really has a
working IOMMU, that's why the list in the Xen Wiki is usually very
valuable.

Hi list,
I´m planning to buy a new machine and I´ll need to have pci
passthrough working on it.
AFAIK, pci passthrough to paravirtual Linux guests would also be
possible without hardware support.
Looking at Xen wiki (http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/VTdHowTo)
there are
some recommended chipsets and motherboards but the list is
little
outdated, I can´t find those hardware anymore.
I´m looking at Intel DZ68DB MotherBoard (Z68 chipset,
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/cs-030922.htm)
that intel´s website claim to have vt-d support. Someone has
Xen PCI
Passthrough working on this board/chipset model ?
I would like to know from the list some working PCI
Passthrough
configuration with new hardware.

Alexandre
