Yes, two extra boxes should maintain the old status-quo.

One aspect that I think is important is to ensure that the processor 
support the virtualization instructions. For Intel that's VT-x and VT-d 
and Intel tends to turn these features on and off at random across their 
processor range. So before buying a processor I'd recommend checking it 
out on http://ark.intel.com/.
