Suggestions for a intel mobo that supports VT-d and VT-x ?

Trying to upgrade my cpu and mobo to something that supports both VT-d and VT-x so i can setup xen, and thus setup windows to game inside of linux.

I figured I would use this as my CPU:

As far as mobo, someone in the thread used a

That's fine, but are there any other good options i should consider?

Needs:
2x gpu slots
1x pci express slot for my tuner card
Support for VT-d and VT-x (obviously)
1155 socket (obviously again)

Wants:
USB 3.0
Sata 6gb/s
UEFI Bios
Cheaper the better.


I feel like what I picked is a decent choice, just wanted to see what other people had to say.

if you were doing alot of compiling i would have sprung for the i7, but thats my two cents, otherwise the i5 is a good choice.

haha...i noticed you asked about mobo..that one looks fine sorry for confusion

Do you need microATX for any reason? I'd get a full size ATX, especially if you're gonna be using two video cards and a tuner card. Way too cramped. Heat would become an issue right away.

Nope, though i prefer the smaller size. I'm going to be running a gtx560, and a old 8800gs. Heat shouldn't be too bad, i'll be water cooling it at some point. The main problem is just making sure the board supports both VT-d and VT-x, I've been having a lot of time finding confirmed boards with it. I did find this one too:
