I've read that it's possible to live migrate KVM guests between Intel and AMD CPUs, is it also possible to migrate from a CPU without NPT/EPT to the Phenom II that supports NPT? Will I lose out on any of the benefits NPT allows without shutting down and restarting the guest?

Also, any thoughts on how much more performant a 3.0GHz Phenom II will be for running KVM guests than the 2.4GHz Intel Q6600?

Thanks in advance.
