[asterisk-users] FW: [mythtv-users] VMWare on the backend. Viable solution?

[Dean Collins]

I found this on the myth-tv list.

Can we do the same thing with asterisk?

 

 

 

Cheers,

Dean

I've just changed my motherboard in my "old" Core 2 based system to a
Gigabyte motherboard. The new motherboard is a Gigabyte EQ45M-S2 with
Intel Q45 (VT-D capable) chipset. It doesn't say anything about VT-D
anywhere, but if you click Ctrl+F1 in the BIOS, some advanced settings
will get activated, including VT-D :-D I've tested it yesterday with a
PVR-500 card and passthrough worked perfectly!

So if your Gigabyte motherboard uses a VT-D capable chipset, there'll
be a good chance that you can activate it with Ctrl+F1 in the BIOS.
