"Overdrive PC offers the finest, most powerful computer systems I've seen to date for considerably less money than the competition. We are very pleased that we can now offer our students these high-end systems in our training center."
Virtual Partners Training Center's new Overdrive PC Torque.64 systems incorporate HyperClocking™, Overdrive PC's custom method of raising the default clock speeds of system components to higher than "stated" values, allowing them to provide the fastest solutions in the industry today at greatly reduced price levels.
Mario Cifaldi, Chief Technology Officer at Overdrive PC continued, "Because of our exclusive HyperClocking Technology, which is provided free in every Overdrive PC system, the Torque.64 performs on-par to a similar configuration from our competition which is based on a much more expensive AMD® Athlon™ 64 4000+ Processor."
HyperClocking is fully guaranteed and supported in each and every Overdrive PC workstation regardless of the manufacturer warranty. "HyperClocking allows Overdrive PC to provide the fastest solutions in the industry at greatly reduced price levels by exploiting safe new power levels from far less expensive components. Enjoy greater processor, video and gaming speeds than current technology provides or greatly reduce your system cost by HyperClocking far less expensive components to achieve comparable speeds and results. The bottom line is free power! We are extremely excited about our relationship with Virtual Partners Training Center for Autodesk Media and Entertainment and look forward to supporting them in the future," Cifaldi concluded.
