NEC TECHNOLOGIES DEMONSTRATES EASY-TO-USE, HIGHLY INTEGRATED READY SERIES
PCs FOR FAMILY AND SOHO MARKETS

With new Pentium 120 MHz model and reduced prices, the Ready Series offers
high-performance, value-oriented computing solutions

New York, N.Y., June 20, 1995 -- NEC Technologies, Inc. will demonstrate
its Ready Series of personal computers for family and small office users,
including the new Intel Pentium 120 MHz-based Ready 9530 model, at PC Expo
Booth 3710. With integrated multimedia components and pre-loaded software,
the Ready Series is ready for education, entertainment, surfing the
Internet, managing household finances, and managing a home office right
out of the box. The Ready Series is easy to use, yet incorporates advanced
technology, such as powerful processors, quad-speed CD-ROM drives, PCI
local bus architecture, Plug and Play technology and large capacity hard
disk drives, to ensure that the systems continue to meet user needs well
into the future.

"With the Ready Series, NEC Technologies provides today's consumers with
processing power and fully integrated multimedia and communications
capabilities for immediate computing productivity and fun right out of the
box," said Murali Dharan, NEC Technologies' director of marketing for
consumer PCs. "And with the recent price reductions, the Ready Series
deliver an even better value than before."

Ready to Go

With its pre-loaded software and other easy-to-use features, the new Ready
systems are ready to go, right out of the box. Ready systems come with
some of the most popular software packages available, including Microsoft
Bob, Microsoft Works, Intuit Quicken SE/MM, Microsoft Encarta, Broderbund
Arthur's Birthday Party and Broderbund Printshop Deluxe.

Ready systems also include the Suspend/Resume feature which, in addition to
saving energy, ensures that the system is always available.

Ready for Multimedia

With its high-quality, integrated CD-ROM, graphics, audio and telephony
components, the Ready Series is immediately multimedia-ready. In order to
use today's -- and tomorrow's -multimedia software effectively, all Ready
systems come with a quad speed CD-ROM drive. The Ready's very fast, 64-bit
PCI bus graphics (except for the Ready 5010 which has fast 32-bit PCI bus
graphics) and 1 MB standard video RAM provide users with crystal clear,
16.7 million color video. The SoundBlaster-compatible 16-bit sound card
delivers CD-quality audio, as well as speaker phone capabilities. Other
telephony features include multiple voicemail boxes with password
protection and 14.4 data/fax modem.

Ready for On-Line Services

All Ready systems come standard with Prodigy, America On Line, CompuServe,
and Imagination Network preloaded. Consumers can test each of the leading
on-line services and determine which is best for them. Consumers can also
"surf the net" using Net Cruiser (including Web Browser), which provides
an easy-to-use interface to the Internet.

Ready for Tomorrow

By incorporating the most advanced technology available, Ready systems meet
the needs of the consumer today and help ensure that it will meet their
needs tomorrow. Powerful Intel 486 and Pentium processors and up to 16 MB
RAM and 1275 MB hard disk drives provide the speed and large storage
capacity required by increasingly sophisticated software applications with
room to grow.

Ready systems are Windows 95-ready, so that consumers will be able to
purchase this new operating system as soon as it is available and install
it without having to worry if it will work on their system. Ready systems
also feature PCI Local Bus architecture for great performance, faster
displays of high-resolution images, and auto configuration capabilities
that allow consumers to easily add optional PCI boards.
