I have a gigabyte 7vaxp mobo with a barton 2500 processor and micron pc2700 ram, 2 80gb hard drives raided, most of the latest xp patches installed, bios version f11, and otherwise standard settings on just about everything. I installed easy tune 4 the other day and it installed and would appear to work except when I overclock the system bus in easy tune and press the go button, easy tune 4 displays overclocked settings but my motherboard monitor 5 program doesn't show any overclocking taking place. I tried changing some settings in the freq. volt. settings in the bios and they don't seem to make it work either. So basically, easy tune 4 just seems to show me numbers and not actual results. Any help would be much appreciated.

Personally, I think that Easy Tune is a waste of time, others will probably disagree, if you really want to overclock, do it through the BIOS.

Easy tune sucks..

Easy tune 4 is the best thing since slice bread for overclocking an GGB board. As long as its left on the CD it came on.

i have the same mobo and similar specs. software to ovclock in my opinion is retarded. it doesnt even seem like your doing anything. i had the same results looking back at my bios with no change in mhz. you have to adjust bios settings for fsb and multiplier >=]

Well it seems that easy tune 4 does work. I don't see why anyone doesn't like it, it's simple and it looks good. I did some benchmarking and it looks as if mobo monitor 5 just doesn't recognize an overclocked number that isn't set from the bios.
