What do you reckon guys?

Is it worth me switching from my Dual Core 930 which with a stock cooler I have sat nicely @ 3.6GHz or will it benefit me to get the E4300?
 
The mobo has just had a bios update and is now ready to have the C2D 4300 fitted now. There was speculation that this board would never make it but it has.

Before the bios update I was only able to move the fsb to 210 but since the update i can get it to 250 @ 3.74GHz with the temp on a full load being 45c with stock.

Its mainly a video editing and gaming machine at the moment so I thought if the C2D 4300 was enough to blow the 930 away I was going to give the 930 to my missus and get the C2D.

Before, I had doubts about Foxconn boards but this one has been an absolute gem.
