Intel charging X dollars for the ability to overclock is downright evil. I say that fully aware that by buying a new processor (it's time for me to do so) and board I am supporting this.

Oh, what the gently caress? HW virtualization is gone on the K models? Yeah, not buying Sandy Bridge now. Why the gently caress can't I have both overclocking and virtualization?

Alereon posted:You get VT-x, but not VT-d. Check movax's post up the page a bit for details of what these are. In short, it probably doesn't matter for desktop virtualization applications. Oh, ok. Am I losing performance by giving up VT-d? I often have two or more virtualized machines running.

movax posted:Theoretically, yes, you are. What CPU do you have at the moment, and what virtualization software are you using? For example, if you have a i7-860, that supports VT-d, so by going to a 2x00K, you may see decreased performance if your VMs make heavy use of host hardware like ethernet or a RAID controller. Q6600 and Vmware Workstation. I do make heavy use of the ethernet controller in my vm(s). I don't even know if my current processor supports VT-d, to be honest. From what I read on google, it does. Would I be better served by buying an i7-860, a new board, and new ram? MTW fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Jan 4, 2011 |
