Yes they do. All "new" Athlon/Opteron/Turion processors have AMD-V. And
you're correct, Opterons only have Socket F option, Athlon64 is the only
version that supports AM2... That's why I suggested the less expensive
Athlon64 in Socket AM2 as a cost-reduction exercise. If your server
doesn't have to have a server motherboard, then that's certainly an
option.
