Except that unfortunately, Intel with Lynnfield and Clarkdale decided 
to do market segmentation on the VT-d feature. 
This could be done because both have an integrated northbridge.
With Lynnfield, the very common Core i5 750 CPU do not support VT-d,
but the Core i7 800 series does.
With Clarkdale, the very common Core i3 500 series do not support VT-d,
but the Core i5 600 series does, except the 661.
Not to mention that in the Core 2 generation, VT-d was available only
on Q35/Q45/X38/X48 chipsets.
