    AMD Vi vs Intel VT-d

    Hmm, that is bad. That explains why I "only" get 330 sustained read speed from the array! I think I had been set on getting another one but then I saw the sale and perhaps was told they were just as good or something. (or maybe I knew going in they weren't the best available but didn't care...

    AMD Vi vs Intel VT-d

    I think you're right. I was going to get one of the Corsair ones but I got these Patriot Pyros because they were on sale. At the time they seemed to be the latest generation (or at least not very old tech), but like I've said myself, I never felt like they were stellar...

    AMD Vi vs Intel VT-d

    Okay, I get it. I knew it was for the devices, but I thought perhaps somehow it was also helping with memory/disk/video access (but video is already pass through even without VT-d from what I understand). So it would seem even upgrading to Piledriver wouldn't help (not that it would be any...

    AMD Vi vs Intel VT-d

    I summarized my issue on another forum (http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/359329-28-intel-running#t2730285), and I believe I have come to the conclusion that the reason my VM does not run as snappy on my Phenom II 965 desktop as on my new MBP Retina is that the i7 in the latter supports VT-d...
