It technically would, although the difference is pretty minor.  I
believe there are plans to drop -generic entirely for future kernels.

K8 is the correct kernel for AMD cpus

Is the changeover as simple as installing the following:

linux-image-2.6.16-2-amd64-k8
linux-headers-2.6.16-2-amd64-k8

and then updating grub?
  


No.

Grub updates itself Whenever a new linux-image is installed or removed. 
Skip the last step.
