Is there a mobo that fits my needs?

The only major upgrade I'd like to do is utilize a GTS240 card as a dedicated PhysX card. I can't do that on my current Gigabyte P35-DSL3 mobo since it doesn't have the slots. I also don't wan to upgrade my CPU/RAM so staying in the same socket 775 architecture is necessary. My E8400 and DDR2 RAM don't need upgrading yet if I can avoid it. Is there a socket 775 motherboard with two PCI-E 2.0 x16 slots on it?

EVGA used to make one (EVGA 132-CK-NF78-A1) but it is sold out everywhere and I presume out of production. I've seen there were other nForce 780i chipset boards manufactured, but same story with them - OOS or very high priced where found.

Is there one that's in stock still? Or will I likely have to hold of until I finally want to bite the bullet and do a CPU/RAM upgrade to the latest and greatest as well?
 
You are probably going to have to bite the bullet, socket 775 is dead, and the replacement socket is pretty much dead now too. You arent going to find a good 775 easily.
