DIGITAL ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY OF XL SERVER 590DP -- DUAL PROCESSOR UPGRADE
FOR POPULAR FILE/APPLICATION PC SERVER LINE

MAYNARD, Mass. -- February 21, 1995 -- Digital Equipment Corporation today
announced availability of the Prioris XL Server 590DP, a dual processor
version of its midrange Intel-based file and application server. The
Prioris XL Server 590DP is one of the first shipping servers in its class
to support both EISA and PCI architectures in a multiprocessing
configuration.

The availability of a dual processor configuration allows server customers
to extend their existing investment in technology, while gaining
siginificant performance and throughput enhancements. The XL Server 590DP
is certified on all major multiprocessing operating systems, conforms to
applicable industry standards and incorporates a variety of performance
and data security features, including dual Pentium processors in a
multiprocessing architecture, 512KB cache memory, 512MB parity or 256MB
ECC memory, on board Fast and Wide SCSI compatibility, dual
high-performance bus management supporting both EISA and PCI, and remote
server management.

Digital's Prioris Powergrade program allows users of all uniprocessor
versions of the XL Server -- including Intel 466, 560, 566 and 590
versions -- to upgrade easily to a dual processor system. Upgrades are
completed on site by an authorized Digital service provider.

"This new version of the Prioris XL Server enables customers to protect and
enhance their technological investments, while at the same time exploiting
the latest performance gains made possible by a dual processing Pentium
architecture," said Duane Dickhut, Digital's vice president of PC server
product management and development. "Combined with the wide range of
standard peripherals and options, the Prioris XL Server family balances
power and price to meet a wide range of general business server demands."

As with all Digital Prioris Servers, the XL Server 590DP is backed by a
three-year on-site warranty with next-day response where direct service is
available, and by Digital's long-standing reputation for world class,
worldwide service and support. An optional 24-hour, seven-days-per-week
coverage program is also available.

The Prioris XL Server 590DP is available immediately. A base system
configuration is priced at $7,799 and consists of two 90Mhz Intel Pentium
processors with 512KB cache memory, a 1.44M floppy disk drive, 32MB parity
memory, 1GB Fast SCSI hard disk drive, a double speed CD-ROM, a mouse and
a keyboard.
