    Seeing as the 3720QM supports vt-d, i want to make use of it. Can anyone recommend me a Virtualization Program? i cant seem to find one which supports vt-d. neither Virtualbox or VMWare support it....

    VirtualBox only recently began to support VT-d so a lot of information is obsolete. It is still "experimental" though and seems to only be supported for Linux systems.

    Hyper-V supports VT-d but that's only available on Windows Server editions :)

    meaning the host system is linux, or the vm is linux? (windows host)

    hmm can i virtualize the server edition? :D


    edit: i found this: http://www.hyper-v-server.de/hypervisor/hyper-v-administration-mit-einem-windows-7-rc/

    the problem is i have only got home premium, but professional or higher is required. is there some workaround?

    If your familiar with Linux, Fedora comes with support straight from the install. You then will be able to install Windows 7 and have total access of your Radeon 7970. Nivida does not suport the feature, because you have to use the Quadra workstations video cards. Ati does not have issues.
