VT-d

Specifically, a virtualization feature called VT-d, and a security feature called TXT.

Except for the ability to overclock, neither the gains nor the losses make a whole lot of sense-there's no reason to take away TXT or VT-d, nor much reason to include the improved graphics.

But I can't do that if my processor doesn't support VT-d.

VT-d opens up the possibility of safely giving virtual machines direct access to hardware such as video cards, allowing the flexibility that virtualization affords to be combined with the performance of running an operating system on the bare metal.

Some virtualization software such as Xen can already make use of VT-d, when supported, to provide this kind of assignment of devices into virtual machines.

The Xen graphics card pass-through support requires a system with Intel VT-d for IOMMU support (the AMD IOMMU support for this functionality is not currently working well) and has primarily been tested using Intel graphics.

- There have been quite a number of questions on the Virtualization and Software Development Forum about whether processor X supports VT-x or chipset Y supports VT-d.

The new version of KVM included in the operating system introduces support improvements for the PCI passthrough technologies (AMD IOMMU and Intel VT-d) and two new features:
