Yeah, sure, dream on: jan, 14th and still no new box here! ;-) Today I read about the core-i7-2600K ... sounds even better, cheaper and faster. What I wonder: the i7-2600K does only have VT-x but no VT-d (while the i7-2600 has both VT-x and VT-d). As I want to run KVM virtualization on it I somehow hesitate to not buy the wrong one (did that back then with a core2duo without VT at all). AFAI know I don't need VT-d but I would appreciate some positive feedback on this. Does anyone here already run such a new CPU with gentoo? Impressions? Thanks a lot, Stefan
