I really want to try out VT-d compatible hardware later on, sadly it was not really supported in the architecture of the parts I chose way back when. VT-d (or AMD-V) allows you to pass-through PCI-E (in addition to CPU, USB etc) to virtual machines, one possibility is Windows in a VM on Linux and be able to play games at close to 100% performance, which is really cool. See this video for a demonstration. |
I took a Z97 because : Features and it was about 10 more than the H97
And THAT YouTube is amazingly interesting.
