Overclock on the click of a button.. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I am doing my 566 on a giga-byte board, and is this a decent way to go or should you always go hardware overclocked?

Looks like H. Oda's SoftFSB but exclusively for Gigabyte boards. Personally, I like going to my Soyo bios to O/C. Does the EasyTuneIII have an automatic recovery setting (default to bios settings) in case you O/C too far and freeze your machine? Let us know if you try it. It would be nice if more motherboard manufacturers released such software.

DAMNIT! Why do I have to be at work right now! =)

I will give it a try tonight, it says it does have that safety measure on it, so I cant wait to see what I can pull out of my C2 566 with GOrb.. =)

i've used giga-crap's easytune prog and its crap, 3 i815 boards bought specifically for overclocking now can't be used for that because votage increase on gigabyte boards is tiny, and it should have a cpu soft menu in the bios, hell i'd prefer jumpers or dipswitches compared to anything soft-fsb like.
it aint for me, if u have a soft menu in the bios use it!!

SoftMenu is the greatest advancement in overclocking since overclocking

Yep that is being used to overclock the new Durons.
While everyone else is cutting traces and soldering their motherboards. Yes it is a variation of H-Oda's software
