Looking to Build an ESXi whitebox

[azs]

Hello,
Need to find a motherboard that supports intel vtx-d properly. I want to build an ESX server and the VTX-d will let me directly connect physical hardware to a virtual machine.

I pnow that the X58 or H55 chipsets support it, but it requires bios support.

poop I meant vt-d

vt-x is the virtual machine extensions, vt-d is the virtual memmory mapped IO

I'm not sure about those extensions, but here's a good site about building a whitebox
