no no dont get a 945 board for c2d
p965 is really best mobo for c2d price and performance ratio wise

proc alone dosent make pcs fast
you need to have
a good chipset
plus fast ram
plus a sata raid to make it worth

am2 x2 5200+ with 570 ultra outbeats e6300 with 945(not p965 or 975)

so i think you got it
