ALR CUSTOM DESIGNS A PENTIUM PERFORMANCE UPGRADE FOR THE COMPAQ PROLINEA
DESKTOP, MINITOWER AND DESKPRO 386/486 PC-- PRICES START AT $595

Irvine, CA, September 11, 1995--Advanced Logic Research (NASDAQ:AALR) today
announced the ALR Sequel 586, a system board upgrade designed specifically
for the Compaq Prolinea desktop, minitower and Deskpro 386 and 486 PCs.
Prices start at $595 for a 75-MHz Pentium processor- based configuration.
Key features built into the ALR Sequel 586 include PCI, enhanced video for
true Plug and Play capability and support for 128-MB of system RAM. An
Easy Installation video is provided.

"With the increasing demand for 32-bit applications and the launch of
Windows(R) 95, the ALR Sequel 586 will provide customers with the
performance they need to run faster and more powerful software. And, with
prices starting at $595, it makes sense for customers to take advantage of
their current Compaq 386/486 investments. Compared to chip upgrade
options, customers will also get a much better price/performance ratio
using the ALR Sequel 586," states Genny Ortegon, vice president of
marketing at ALR.

The ALR Sequel 586 can be configured with Intel's 75-, 90-, 100- or 133-MHz
Pentium processor. This design also adds a PCI local bus to the Compaq
system's current ISA bus, providing compatibility with today's most
powerful PC peripherals. An integrated PCI enhanced IDE disk interface
supports the latest drive technologies including PIO Mode 4, while the
built-in video controller delivers accelerated local bus graphics.
Combined, these features transform the Compaq system into a "Plug-n-Play"
compatible powerhouse with true 64-bit memory addressing.

Ortegon states, "The making of Sequel 586 was a natural transmutation for
ALR. ALR is an industry leader known for its PC design expertise and
customers will reap the benefits of this expertise with the Sequel 586.
This product also provides ALR with a great opportunity to tap into an
existing multi-billion dollar market. According to IDC*, Compaq has sold
over 1.5 million Prolinea and Deskpro 386/486-based systems worldwide."

The ALR Sequel 586 configured with a 75-MHz Pentium processor can deliver
up to a 105% performance gain over the 66-MHz 486/DX2 based systems.
(Intel iCOMP CPU ratings). An upgraded 386 system can boost performance
gains of over 200%. The ALR Sequel 586 is offered in a desktop and
minitower configurations.

Features built into the ALR Sequel 586 include enhanced video performance
using a Cirrus Logic video chip that supports 16.7 million colors,
resolutions up to 1280 x 1024, and refresh rates up to 75Hz. One megabyte
of video memory is standard, expandable to 2-MB. The ALR Sequel 586
supports a maximum of 128-MB of system RAM. This is four times the amount
supported by the original Compaq systems. The BIOS on the ALR Sequel 586
supports Plug and Play devices and allows for 32-bit compatibility
including Windows 95.

Installation of the ALR Sequel 586 is very simple. An Easy Installation
video is included with all models for quick comprehension. "Installing the
ALR Sequel 586 does not require any great engineering aptitude. We include
all the tools, making it almost as easy as playing 'connect- the-dots',"
says Ortegon.

The ALR Sequel 586 system upgrades will be available this month with prices
starting at $595, $695, $795 and $1,095 for Pentium 75-, 90- , 100- and
133-MHz, respectively. The products include a 3 year factory warranty, and
