Intel's stuff is really iffy about ACS unless you buy one of the overpriced two thousand dollar processors, they use it for artificial market segmentation so that they can say the desktop processors and the E3 etc doesn't "support" sr-iov etc. If you want to do this without spending lots of mo

Hi Folks, Long time listener (~2days), first time... Based on years of pain-free experience with VF NICs, I naively thought that installing a second GPU in a desktop for VM pass through would be a straight forward task. This has turned out to be an incorrect assumption. I have two desktop syste
