To get maximum performance means to get the E4300 to 3.3-3.5ghz. He will not get there on a 945p mobo.

They got 350 FSB in this review: review of ga-945p-s3. And that was with an E6700 with 10x multi = 3.5 GHz on stock cooling. So I suspect their overclock was limited by the CPU heat and not the motherboard.
