Velocity Micro acquires Overdrive PC, gets ‘hyperclocked’

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

Filed under: , ,

None of the deal’s financial details were disclosed, but we do know that Overdrive will relocate its headquarters to Richmond, VA, where its founder and CTO will take on the role of Director of Advanced Technologies at Velocity and General Manager of Overdrive.
