Hi!

I'm going to buy an AMD FX-6100 processor in order to build an ESXi whitebox.
However I really don't know what's the cheapest AM3+ mobo supporting AMD-V and IOMMU technologies.

One of those I already checked is the Asus M5A97, but I'm not sure if it supports AMD-V and IOMMU.

Suggestions? Can you please help me on this?

Many thanks!
 
AMD-V is widely supported on AMD's last 2 generations of hardware. Any 970 or 990 chipset should support IOMMU. A few 890FX chipsets support it as well with a recent BIOS. Unfortunately, the Realtek NIC that is often bundled with these chipsets is not supported in ESXi. Plan on buying a PCI-e NIC if you go with a Bulldozer system.
