Overdrive PC ™ Gemini.Pro Features AMD Opteron™ Processors And Nvidia®SLI™ Technology

November 15, 2005
ATLANTA, November 15, 2005—The power of multiple processors and video adapters in a single workstation is now available from Overdrive PC™, a U.S.-based manufacturer of award-winning, highly specialized multi-media and gaming platforms and professional workstations and servers. Gemini.Pro incorporates single- and Dual-Core AMD Opteron™ processors with Direct Connect Architecture in one of two configurations— two single-core or two dual-core processors on a dual socket motherboard; either one or two NVIDIA graphics cards; and Overdrive PC’s proprietary HyperClocking™ technology.

“It doesn’t get any better than this,” explained Mario Cifaldi, Chief Technology Officer and Partner at Overdrive PC. “Designed for high-end professionals running multi-media applications such as AutoCAD®, PhotoShop™ or video editing suites, or users who run multiple processor-intensive applications simultaneously, the Gemini.Pro addresses all their computing needs.”

“The demands of complex 3D simulations, streaming media files, added levels of security, sophisticated user interfaces, large databases, and more on-line users are beginning to strain single-core processor capabilities. AMD64 dual-core technology with Direct Connect Architecture helps enable true multitasking,” said Pat Patla, Director, Server/Workstation Marketing, AMD. “On multi-core systems based on AMD64 technology, the operating system can handle most compute-intensive tasks in parallel, which can lead to improved system efficiency and application performance for computers running multiple applications at the same time.”

Cifaldi continued, “Users are getting more sophisticated by pushing the limits of current systems and are beginning to exceed single-core processor capabilities. The need for dual-core processing is becoming more evident especially as software developers begin concentrating on multi-threaded applications. By combining our HyperClocking™ technology with AMD Opteron Processors and NVIDIA’s SLI technology, the Gemini.Pro allows for the fastest, most immersive multi-media experience to date.”
