I\u2019m talking about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcpitstop.com\/betapit\/default.asp\">FREE OVERDRIVE SCAN<\/a> from PC Pitstop.  I\u2019ve been using this for the entire time that I\u2019ve had computers and still use it to this day.   When it comes to diagnostics, it is absolutely the best.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>My very first computer was tested and tweaked with what was called The Free Pit Test. In 2000 we would compete to see who could get the best scores.  We eventually graduated to other benchmarks from the likes of PassMark and FutureMark, but for a long time <strong>THE PIT TEST<\/strong> was DaBomb.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>The Pit Test is what started PC Pitstop. Because of the PitTest we developed a Forum with an Over Clocking section, and eventually our retail products.  <strong>IN THE BEGININING<\/strong> I was just a user and not an employee of PC Pitstop.  We all tested and tweaked and shared what we learned in the Custom PCs and Over Clocking Forum.  As the PitTest followers grew, so did the Pit Test.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>Ten years later and the improvements are huge.  Today we  test the fastest hardware available. Raid setups, SSD drives, 3D video and the fastest Internet are all covered.  I\u2019m happy to say I was involved in the development of our current 3D tests which are now a part of OverDrive tests and also included in PC Matic.<P><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/2012\/07\/13\/overdrive-is-free\/how-do-rate\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-34511\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/how-do-rate-e1342121640507.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"how do rate\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-34511\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<P>Open Internet Explorer, and click the OverDrive tab on our home page.
