"cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep svm" should give you a line of "flags"
containing "svm" if your processor has AMD-V (aka SVM). 

The other pretty easy way is to tell from the type of memory the
motherboard uses. If it's got DDR2 memories, then it's got AMD-V with
one exception: processors called "Sempron" don't have AMD-V, but all
others do (Athlon, Opteron, Turion).
