Anything up to 2.2v will be fine

And to those worrying about E4300, I run one currently at stock and it is about 5x as fast in general windows tasks than my old P4 northy 3.06.

even if speedstep is on, it will ramp up to full speed on demand.

Aye - I was about to say the same.
I leave Speedstep etc all switched on.
I run a Core2 E6600 based system which I have overclocked to a modest 3.2GHz, however I still leave Speedstep and the likes switched on.
As soon as the system needs the extra CPU power it just kicks in.

What mobo drivers, are they all installed and running?

Are you using a SATA disk and what mode is that running in?
