965P vs. 945P

I have a 945P-S3 MOBO and at the moment its working fine for me (I dont RAID or use DDR2-800).

But one friend told me I cant run my E6600 on this board to its full potential. Is this true? What other benefits would I get upgrading to 965P?

Thanks
 
Generally 945 chipsets only support an 800MHz FSB compared to the 1066MHz offered by the 965 and 975 chipsets. This higher FSB will thence lead to better overclocking, apparently. However the Gigabyte boards appear to support the 1066MHz FSB anyway.
