Sorry for not posting this sooner. Just wanted to update you guys and say that my budget changed a little bit so I went with the Asrock H97M Pro4 motherboard and i5-4590 CPU recommended by Chugiak. My system has been up and running for a while now and I couldn't be happier (okay, maybe if I had the money to buy a motherboard with IPMI- but never mind). This covered all my virtualization problems and works great! Thanks everyone.

Thank you for the helpful info. The Asrock E3C224 and the Xeon E3-1231v3 seem like a great combo and I would like to go with them. However, I cant seem to find anything confirming IOMMU support on these. I can see here (http://ark.intel.com/products/80910/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-1231-v3-8M-Cache-3_40-GHz) that Vt-x is supported but I'm not quite sure where to check for IOMMU support.

1333 mhz

Sorry I didn't specify. Around $300-500

Hi, I have an unraid server currently up and running but my motherboard and cpu don't support IOMMU. I would like to upgrade both my motherboard and cpu to ones that support vt-d and IOMMU. I currently have an AMD cpu but I would like to change to intel. Could anyone recommend a good motherboard and cpu. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. P.S. I am on a very tight budget right now and don't need anything too fancy.
