I purchased the board and was able to build a virtual machine with a HVR-2200 dual tunercard in passthrough mode. This is perfectly working! BTW: are you using your raidcard passive or active cooled? I am planning to purchase an Adaptec 3805 or 5805 but they seem to run very hot.

Yes that is possible but I did not try that. USB passthrough works for all host connected usb devices.

After purchasing the DQ45CB I can confirm that a Perc 5 with the two pin mod is working. Have to sort out a couple of problems with ESXi and file corruption.

My board arrived and I have installed ESXi on the DQ45CB. In the host configuration I have set my HVR-2200 to passthrough. In a VM running XP I could add the card to the hardware. GBPVR was able te see AND use the card. Made a couple of recordings and those were o.k. and could be played back...

I think am going to order an Intel DQ45CB which supports VT-d. I think that is the only way to find out.

ESXi4 supports pass through for PCI and PCIe devices. That is not the problem. The question is: does it also do a proper pass through on tuner cards or is it limited to raid controllers, certain graphic cards etc.

Thanks, but I read about a different problem. The user was able to use the raid card but after a restart the machine would not boot till the drives were physical disconnected. I was referring to this post: http://communities.intel.com/message/68208

I cannot use usb tv tuners. Should be internal tuners (pci-e 1x).

Yes!

Has any body experience using (multiple) tuner cards in a virtual machine running under ESXi? I am planning to build a new workstation running ESXi with W2K8R2 server, WHS and Vista or XP. The last virtual machine should be able to make recording with four tuners (2x HVR-2200) using pass...

Thanks for this info. I have now posted an new thread for the DQ45CB with the question on the raid card and not necessarily in combination with ESXi. See what comes out of that.

Has anybody experience with the Intel DQ45CB motherboard and the use of an external raid card like the Areca, Adaptec or 3Ware controllers? I have read some stories on the Intel forum about boot problems when using raid cards in the PCI-e 1x and 16x on this MB. Because I want to use this MB...

I am reading horror stories on the Intel forum that the DQ45CB would not boot after a restart when a pci-e raid card is inserted in the 16x slot. Did you experience any problems with booting and did you try any other raid cards than the LSI? I have an Areca 1210 in my current setup which I...

What processor are you using on this DQ45CB? I want to build a PVR in a virtual ESXi machine with 2x Hauppauge HVR-2200 dual tuners and use pass through for the tuners.
