PC Wave Puts a New Twist on PC Design; Over-Clocking a CPU has Never Been So Easy, Just Turn a Dial to Increase the CPU Speed


FREMONT, Calif., May 15, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- PC Wave, Inc. today announces its EZ-Watcher technology which puts the consumer in control of the power. Users can squeeze every ounce of performance out of the processor and monitor the system on the easy to read LED management window.

The LED display window on the PC chassis has the patented EZ-Watcher technology for monitoring both CPU and system performance. The user can now monitor the frequency of the CPU as they increase the speed by simply rotating a dial on the front of the chassis. The motherboard, system memory, hard drive and CD/DVD drives are also constantly monitored, with warning lights indicating any potential problems.

The EZ-Watcher technology makes hardware monitoring as easy as knowing when to service a car. When the Memory Warning light is on, a consumer knows it's time to replace a $20 memory module, rather than spending $800 on a new system. System integrators can also save time on diagnosing problems during the assembly process.

"With our EZ-Watcher technology, everyone can now enhance and monitor their PC performance at a glance," says See See Lo, CEO of PCWave, Inc. "This new platform gives the white box PC makers a boost over their Tier-1 competitors."

The PCChips EZW-3060 is the first product to be released with the EZ-Watcher technology. This system platform consists of a compact aluminum chassis, measuring 162mmx263mmx310mm, a choice of motherboards with 5 USB ports supporting Intel or AMD CPUs, a 6-in-1 Flash card reader and an external power supply that reduces fan noise. The low noise, and the 5.1 audio output make this an ideal platform for digital media applications. Prices start from $169.
