    Hi,

    No, it is not possible for now. Apple do not support full functionality of VT-d in current Macs. It is very sad. But they are promised fix it in the near future.

    Note: To support Vt-d technology chipset only is not enough there should be support in OS and drivers too.

    Ooo. I hope this means support soon. Been eager to see VT-d on the Mac side ever since the demo at WWDC 09. Any idea if the Mac Pro 2008 hardware is capable, or will I need to upgrade to a newer Pro?
