I do lot of virtualization among other things like programming and gaming and i7 i3930K seems running quite happy. Perhaps there are cases where VT-d won't work but i believe with proper Bios update should fix for most people. Again most people don't even use VT-d, it enabled virtualized OS to directly access things like video card so you could basically run Crysis 2 game in there

I just spoke with an Intel rep about this - the issue likes in the BIOS, NOT the CPU iteslf. Each manufacturer should be releases a BIOS update that fixes this issue. C2 CPU's have it fixed in-processor. Nobody is screwed, just contact your MB Manufacturer and get the latest BIOS.
