    Hi guys, the question for this day will if you actually use the INtel Virtualization Technologies in your G73? Reading in another thread, some guy gain better speed increases when disable it. Is there any real gain on performance when disable (or gain instability) ?? Since I do not virtualize any other OS I disable it in BIOS and I start testing. Also I found this others two terms: VT-d and TDT

    VT-d: I found this information at aintel website:
    Ok, the explanation was so cryptic for me leaving me in the same question than the title of this thread. :confused:

    TDT: I found the following information at Asus website:
    a little bit more clear this is NOT FREE :mad: . Also regarding this TDT tech found the following spread across the web:

    What are you setting guys, anything to say about these three setting?

    The VT-d setting is for using Intel Virtualization Technology on the memory controller hub (is it still called that on Core i7s? ;)).

    I don't know squat about at-p, but AFAIK at-p is Intel's TDT, so the quote you posted doesn't look like it had anything to do with at-p. Also on the G73JH, that setting says something about "for testing only"....wonder what that means? :)
