Sorry for hijacking the topic but I need to ask something.

I recently purchased a 3770k and all other parts arrived today. The documentation[1] says 3700k supports Vt-x but not Vt-d. Does that affect anything at all ?

VT-x is for hardware virtualisation. VT-d is allows direct pass through of device (PCI, etc).

VT-x is essential, VT-d is 'nice' because it lets you hook PCI devices directly into the VM (good for some servers) but in general you don't need it.

3770k is a very nice chip! I love mine. Easy to overclock too.
