Hi out there .. looking for some information to this topic.
In detail it would be most important to know if the specific mainboard ( Fatality Z97M Killer ) supports the virtualization technologie VT-D

My I7 4770K does not and when the Mainboard also does not, then it would be stupid to go for a  VT-D capable Xeon CPU.

And if not, then it would be important to know witch  Skylake-mATX-Boards support VT-D.

According to Intel, the Z97 chipset does not support VT-d. Scroll down on the page below to see that spec:

http://ark.intel.com/products/82012/Intel-DH82Z97-PCH

You then mention Skylake, which I assume you know is based on the Intel 100 series chipset, not the 9 series chipset.

For Skylake boards, VT-d is supported by the Z170, H170, H110, Q170, Q150, and B150. That is all the mainstream Skylake chipsets.

If you want to check this yourself, go to Intel's website and their "ARK Home", select a processor you are considering and display its specs. On the left there's an entry for "Compatible Products", which then lists all the chipsets that work with the processor. Click each chipset for it's information like in the link above.

Then again, does the board support it too? Choose a board, click on the manual link, skip to the Advanced, CPU Configuration UEFI/BIOS information, and look for a VT-d option.
