Well no thanks to ASUS' update BS program, I can't reset my mobo apparently (talked to a local computer tech on the phone).
So now I'm looking for a replacement board that can handle the following
1) Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHZ if I recall (99.999%) sure.
2) 8G of DDR2 Corsair 800mhz RAM
3) EVGA 8800 GTS video card.
4 SATA drives.
This was my old board. - Asus P5B

This is the one I'm looking at now, unfortunately it's an ASUS board (would have preferred going with anyone but them)
But again, need 4 slots and Socket 775.

My ASUS P5B was an Intel P965 chipset and this newer model is B43 chipset - I'm not as tech-savvy as most of you, so does this make a difference or not?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can't wait to call ASUS tomorrow and flip out a little bit.
