i do these surveys from this site called zoompanel.com. they take between 10-20 minutes to do and i get best buy cards all the time. thats where i get my gift cards from for best buy. best buy will let me return the mobo if it dont work. i already asked them. the mobo is only like 10 dollars more so its not too bad if it dont work. it is lga 775 just like my cpu is, both are ddr2 so my ram should work and it is sata just like my hard drive, and has ide just like my dvd drive. has pcie and mine does too. just will have to replace that and the fan. would be around 80 dollars to get it going.
