Richmond, VA - October 6, 2004 - Velocity Micro, the Richmond, Va. based provider of premier PCs, rounds off the third quarter with resounding success.

In digital editing and digital media, PC magazine gave Editor's Choice Awards to the ProMagix system in May 2004 and the Vision FX A/V/D in its April 20, 2004 issue. "As enthusiasts," the PC magazine staff wrote of the Vision FX A/V/D, "we swear that there's virtually nothing high-end missing from this black tower." In June, Cnet also bestowed an Editor's Choice award on the Vision FX A/V/D, praising the system for having "the right combination of components and performance for digital-video editing."
For mainstream use, PC World understood that with the capacity to meet specific high performance standards, the ProMagix and Vision 64 cross categories with great success. In June, PC World included the Vision 64 in its list of the "Top 15 Desktop PCs."
In the gaming category, Cnet called the Velocity Micro ProMagix "a beautiful and overachieving gaming system," giving it an Editor's Choice Award in February. The very components that make the Vision 64 ideal for digital media work also serve mainstream and gaming users well; an ultra fast processor, huge hard drive, and excellent video card have extensive applications.
For mobile use, Velocity Micro once again scored high marks.
