Tried it again, but no dice. In fact, I ran through all the settings pages, then returned to the main menu and hit Ctl+F1, and then ran through the settings pages again to see what had changed. I could find no difference, i.e. no advanced settings. My board is a GA-P55-UD4P, with BIOS revision F3. As you've pointed out, the manual says there _should_ be advanced options. Might try updating to a newer version (F6) and having another go. I'd love to get VT-d working! Unfortuantely my serer is also headless, so it's a bit of a pain to hook up monitor and keyboard.
