RE: Win-8 Hyper-V: clash on SLAT capability
Ideally, for an Intel based platform you want a Q77 chipset motherboard paired with an i5-3470/3550/3570 (not a K series chip) as these will be most likely to provide all of the required platform features (such as VT-d, Trusted Execution, Extended Page Tables/SLAT, DEP). We have a pair of systems using ASUS P8Q77-M/CSM board with i5-3470 CPU running Hyper-V Server 2012 Core.
