ESXi on X8SIL Motherboard

I have an X8SIL motherboard and was wondering if all the NICs are compatible with VT-d so that I can have one just for unraid and still have the rest for everything else?  I would like not to have to buy a separate NIC card.

While I have not personally tried it. It should be able to pass a single nic to the unRAID guest.

I think the x8sil would be a good base for esxi.

I will mention that in my testing, I have been able to push 100% network traffic through the vmware virtual switch to unRAID. I had a dedicated nic for my unraid at first and removed it.

Once someone compiles the VMXNET3 driver for vmtools for unraid, it would be a better route to take IMO.
