If you can find something that suits you will recoup the cost of the new processor and RAM with much reduced electricity consumption, I believe around 10 times less. There's been a few threads recently about low power boards. eg this thread http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=411819+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2010/freebsd-questions/20101128.freebsd-questions suggests this board http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/ATOM/ICH9/X7SPE.cfm?typ=H&IPMI=Y which looks like it covers what you want.
