Any luck?

Those boards don't have a feature like some of the Gigabyte boards..hit a key combo in bios to pull up an advanced menu, do they?

If they do, I'm not aware of it. And I've yet to try resetting the CMOS.

and you call yourself a staples tech? reset CMOS kthnx.

Is this BadAxe Intel-branded? If so, you got the same one I had a while back that doesn't allow you to overclock without manually creating a profile.

I forgot what it is that you have to do, but I remember looking it up in a search over at www.xtremesystems.org I never did get around to doing it; I just swapped the board out for something else. Major pain.

Your CPU isnt extreme enough so the bios are locked.

"While using a processor like the Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme X6800 gives you a fully unlocked BIOS many users with processors like the Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 are finding a BIOS with no chipset voltage options, Vcore options, strap options, and 20% limited overclocking. While Intel did this on purpose there is a quick and easy way to get around it. When Intel orginally developed the board they had a debug jumper on the board, but later removed it on recent revisions."

Just went watercooling. 3.6Ghz and much cooler now. Feel better about the OC now compared to the Zalman and OCZ Vendetta2.

I think you only option you can change is the "host burn-in mode percentage", that's how my old intel mobo was. The screenshots you posted showed this option with a value of 0 meaning no overclock. You can only go up a certain percentage, but i'm not sure what that number is. Also, you'll have to manually lower your ram speed down from 800 down to 533mhz before you start as the ram and cpu speed will both increase as you raise the "burn in percentage". For example with these settings, if you can do a 10% adjustment, your cpu will run at 2.64ghz and ram will be at 586mhz I'm not sure if you cannot adjust voltage or not for the cpu, so that may limit your percentage as well. Don't forget to do some stability tests if you do get the OC going. Hope this helps
