It might be worth looking at Intel Atom processor boards or similar, 
there are plenty of very low power boards around now. 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.
