    Intel Haswell motherboard with best ESXi compatibility?

    That's good but I don't want to have to go buy all new 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 ECC memory. I already have a brand new kit of Corsair XMS3 that I would like to keep using. I have read that some Asrock boards have VT-d such as this, although I will probably still need to patch the network drivers Giga...

    Intel Haswell motherboard with best ESXi compatibility?

    ESXi 5.1 whitebox questions, specs, etc

    Thanks for the info, that's very helpful! I'll probably read through some other people's builds and see what motherboards they used and pick one from there. I want to get one with the best compatibility so that I don't have to replace it as soon as I need a feature.

    ESXi 5.1 whitebox questions, specs, etc

    I want to build an ESXi whitebox at home to do some testing on. I am open to any recommendations. I have read through some other people's hardware on here--I just want to make sure that I will have compatible hardware for pass-through after I buy everything. I will be running a Windows 2012...
