Intel Sandy Bridge CPU & Motherboards: Integrated Graphics & VT-d

[jiewmeng]

I am wondering if I cannot use P series chipsets if I want integrated graphics? I thought with SB, the GPU is in the CPU? Also with Virtualization Tech with Directed IO, I will need Q series MB? Whats that and will I get any benefit? I will be using things like Virtual Box quite abit

Intel disabled the IGP on the P67, so no it will not work even though it technically should. I'm not familiar with VT-d, but according to Intel's website, these are the only CPUs that support it and onboard graphics
