I've also had good luck running EMC2 on LGA boards equipped with the Intel Celeron E3300 which I believe is sort of a cheap Core 2 Duo.
In fact I have taken a hard drive setup to run EMC2 with Ubuntu 10.04 on a Atom 330 board and plugged it into a Celeron E3300 system and it boots right up. Nice... 1 Gig seems to be plenty to run EMC2 on. I have never seen memory usage go much above a couple hundred megs.
