915 to 945 worth it?

So I just bought a Pentium D 915 with an Asus P5VDC-X board. I'm just putting together a budget dual core system for myself. I was thinking though is the 945 worth the extra $40 over the 915? Right now I could use the $40 towards ram but if it means waiting so that I can grab a faster cpu I'd rather do that but not if I won't see any difference getting the 945. Thanks.

This is your choice cos the ram is not that important whilst overclocking the pentium D because of the high multiplier it has, but that said you are right to invest in some ram cos the overclock will mean a difference of 400mhz between the two.

You should be able to overclock the 915 to 4ghz with ease, make sure you have a good HSF for that speed.
