AMD desktop chipsets with IOMMU support

AMD 890FX chipset supports IOMMU. Other 890 chipsets don't have IOMMU support!
AMD 990FX, 990X and 970 chipsets support IOMMU.

Even when the chipset supports IOMMU, the bios must have a ACPI IVRS table to enable the use of it! So actual support depends on the motherboard manufacturer. At the time of writing all motherboards seem to have a (beta)bios available supporting the IOMMU. A thread with user expiriences can also be found at this forum: http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/ga [...] tch-39801/
Motherboards with a BIOS supporting the IOMMU(as reported by users):
ASUS Crosshair IV (reported working by Jens Krehbiel-Gräther)
ASUS M4A89TD Pro/USB3 (reported working by Jens Krehbiel-Gräther)
Asrock 890FX Deluxe3 (reported working by Jens Krehbiel-Gräther)
Biostar TA890FXE (from bios version 89FAD629.BST reported working by Joop Boonen)
Motherboards with a beta-bios available from tech-support that supports the IOMMU:
Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5
Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7
MSI 890FXA-GD70 (from beta-bios 1.75 reported working by Sander Eikelenboom)



Any suggestions, this is for replacing my current MB which already has a PhenomII-X4, so dont really need a new CPU...
