July 2, 201610 yr Hello...i am new on this and i really need advice because i want to do a project for school wich will include unraid and 2 wm on same comp. As the title of the topic my motherboard is the GA-Z97X-Gaming G1 ( http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4963#ov ) and unfortunatelly i have a i7 4770k on it( god how the hell they didint make it vt-d compatibile against the simple 4770). So after a couple of hours searching in bios the IOMMU settings i finnaly discovered that the cpu will not help me in this. Now my question is if i will get a Xeon E3-1220 v3 Processor Haswell ( http://ark.intel.com/products/75052/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-1220-v3-8M-Cache-3_10-GHz ) as the motherboard is supporting it it will be possible to me with the same motherboard to enable IOMMU and make my project? ( assuming if i put the new cpu a bios option will apear...lol ) Additional components : gtx 980 , gtx 960 , 16 gb ram 2400 The reason i choose this xeon is because i can get him for only 100 £ fast. Any help will be appreciated
