ASPEN SYSTEMS NOW SHIPPING THE ALPHA AXP-BASED ALPINE LINE OF PROFESSIONAL
WORKSTATIONS AND SERVERS

Aspen Systems is now shipping its entire line of ALPINE high-performance
RISC workstations and servers. The ALPINE's "pop out chip and oscillator"
design supports processor speeds of 166-, 200-, 233- and 275-MHz and
allows for unusually flexible upgrading. The ALPINE, based on Digital
Equipment Corporation's Alpha AXP microprocessor, combines Digital's 21064
processor and 21072 PCI core logic chip set with a 128-bit RAM bus
engineered for maximum computing performance. Secondary cache RAM of 2
megabytes is standard in the 275 MHz and 233 MHz configurations; 200 MHz
and 166 MHz versions are equipped with 512K RAM. All ALPINEs are
expandable up to 1 Gigabyte of RAM using 72-pin SIMMs.

The ALPINE is engineered to fully support Windows NT, VMS, and OSF/1
operating systems. Standard systems include a 2MB PCI video adapter; an
Ethernet PCI adapter for networking solutions; and a professional 17"
monitor which, combined with the ALPINE's PCI video card, displays up to
16.7 million colors in resolutions up to 1600x1200. An ALPINE systems
manual, a Windows NT manual, and a catalogue of the 5000-plus software
packages supported by the ALPINE are included.

The ALPINE has three PCI expansion slots that allow high-speed I/O
throughput of up to 132 megabytes/second; onboard FAST SCSI II interface
with internal and external connectors; three ISA expansion slots; floppy
drive interface; onboard bi-directional parallel port; two high-speed
serial ports; PS/2 mouse port; AT keyboard connector; remote diagnostics
port; CD-ROM and a 3.3 volt power supply. Complete systems are available
in desktop and tower configurations (baby-AT form factor of 8.8" x 13").

The ALPINE offers one of the best price/performance ratios on the market. A
fully loaded 166MHz system retails for $6,295.00 and the 275MHz
configuration is priced at $11,395.00. Aspen Systems offers unlimited
toll-free technical support and a full two-year warranty for registered
owners. OEM, VAR and embedded controller support includes free sales
literature and marketing material, free software demos and an OEM/VAR
co-op advertising program.
