What's your fsb speed and multiplier? Voltages used?

I'd attempt to get to 3 Ghz first, try 300 fsb, 10 multi and bump up the cpu pll voltage a couple of steps (depending on what you currently have it at!)

cpu-z say multiplier x10.0 and rated fsb 1048.2mhz voltage 1.392 V

I have a feeling if you want to clock your going to need a new motherboard. the 945 chipset wasn't designed to run with Core architecture chips, and the board is likly to be limited in bios options. I'll dig though GBs site and come back with some concrete evidance or some settings to change.

Edit: ok the boads got some rudimentary (sp?) options. Your first port of call should be here. The options are all stored under the 'Frequency/Voltage Control' page of your BIOS.
