    The 970a-ud3 does work with esxi 5.1 right? I thought I read it somewhere last week but now I can't find it. As long as it works and I'm able to pass through, I will be happy for now.

    Esxi home server

    First time posting here, been lurking around for a few days reading various different threads regarding esxi setups at home.
