What is Intel VT-D configuration?
VT-d allows direct access to the hardware from a virtual machine. Presently VirtualBox does not support this but it won’t harm to turn it on.
What is VT-d vs Intel Virtualization Technology?
Virtualization allows a user to create a virtual machine and run it on the same computer by sharing its physical resources without changing the host environment. DMA means direct memory access and VT-d DMA protection is the process of securing your virtualized access to your machine’s physical memory systems.
Does my PC support VT-d?
If you have Windows 10 or Windows 8 operating system, the easiest way to check is by opening up Task Manager->Performance Tab. You should see Virtualization as shown in the below screenshot. If it is enabled, it means that your CPU supports Virtualization and is currently enabled in BIOS.

Should I turn off VT-d?
You must disable Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) in BIOS before you can use Oracle VM. This is necessary because input/output memory management unit (I/O MMU) is not supported in Oracle VM 3.2. You must also disable Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) in BIOS before you can use Oracle VM.
