Can anybody give me any information on an AMD motherboard that supports IOMMU and works with ESXi 5.0?

It looks like the following chipsets support IOMMU: 890FX, 990FX, 990X, and 970.

I'd like at the very least two PCIe x8 slots, but three or four would be even better.

Also, I'm looking at something as inexpensive as possible. (aren't we all?) Also, it MUST support ECC RAM.

Can anybody give me any recommendations?

(EDIT: I'm using an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T which hopefully is compatible with IOMMU)

Biostar's 890FX board supports it, but I am unsure how you can tell if it works with ESXi or not. In theory, if IOMMU is enabled, it should work with it.
All Phenom II CPUs support IOMMU as well.
