July 28, 2005
ATLANTA—The Torque.SLI from Overdrive PC™, a U.S.-based manufacturer of highly specialized multi-media and gaming platforms and professional workstations and servers, has been named the "Most Innovative PC" by CNET in the Desktop PC Editor's Top 100 Tech Products category.
According to the editor's at CNET, "Word has it that Overdrive PC's out-of-nowhere success has so confounded the other high-end PC vendors, they've taken to calling the company with fake technical support questions in order to gain insight into how this upstart has so utterly destroyed the competition on benchmarks. Part of the answer is that Overdrive PC expertly assembled all of the right parts. An overclocked AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 processor, a pair of overclocked 256MB Nvidia GeForce 6800 Ultra 3D cards, two extrafast 10,000rpm hard drives...the list goes on. Of course, anyone can configure and overclock a high-end PC. But between tweaking the graphics card BIOS and customizing the motherboard, Overdrive PC has elevated the art of high-end PC building. The company won't reveal the specifics of its tweaks, but whatever it's doing, it's winning."
