Blu-rays play at 5 frames a second, really laggy, jittery, skippy, etc. CPU Usage jumps to 100% on both cores.
System Specs:

Geforce 8800 GTS 640MB
Sound Blaster X-Fi xTreme Gamer
4GB Ram Vista Ultimate 64-bit
Intel Core2 Duo E6400 @ 2.13 GHZ

I'm thinking it MUST be my mother board??? I have an Asus P5NSLI which utilizes NVidia nForce.
Is the motherboard my problem? I've tried resinstalling windows, I even installed a dual boot for XP, and it has the same problem.
If the bottleneck IS my motherboard, what would be recommended, that would work with my current hardware (I don't want to throw away my Geforce, Sound Blaster, etc.)??
That is strange indeed? Your blu-ray should play just fine with the setup you have. I have managed to play blu-ray video on far worse computers than your own. Your CPU and video card should be perfectly capable of 1080p playback. It must be something else, the motherboard cannot cause such poor performance.
If you are planning to get a new motherboard anyways, try looking at some P45s from intel, however I think your problem lies elsewhere.
An 8800GTS shouldn't lag playing 1080p video unless your CPU is very weak, and it's not that bad. You do have a very poor motherboard though, even if it doesn't fix the problem, you would probably be wise to replace it
