I'm not going to add any more moving parts. I'll buy the card you suggested. Thank you.

Hi all,<br />
<br />
I'm running ESXi 5.5 on a homelab.<br />
<br />
- Lenovo T130<br />
- Xeon 1225<br />
<br />
I want to load a few VM's - maybe Server 2012 and a couple of Win 7 x64 machines and have a couple of questions:<br />
<br />
1. Does anyone know how to inject the LAN drivers for this Lenovo<br />
2. Should vt-d be enabled in general for ESXi?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

ESXi 5.5 - should i enable vt-d?

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
