DIGITAL DROPS PRICES IN U.S. ON SELECTED 486 AND PENTIUM-BASED DESKTOP
PERSONAL COMPUTERS

MAYNARD, Mass. -- March 21, 1995 -- Digital Equipment Corporation today
announced price reductions in the United States on 20 models in its most
popular Digital Venturis and Digital Celebris desktop PC lines. The
reductions of up to 20 percent produce a savings as high as $419 U.S. on
several Venturis 486-based PCs. The price cuts are effective immediately.

A Venturis 4100/DX4/100MHz microprocessor/8MB RAM/540MB hard drive carries
a list price of $1,880. A Pentium PC for an advanced user, Celebris 590
Pentium/90MHz microprocessor/8MB RAM/540 hard drive, is available for
$2,599.

The Venturis and Celebris personal computers introduced last fall feature
easy access, easy-to-use capabilities such as the "Getting Started" menu,
Plug and Play for automatic configuration of add-in cards, and enclosures
that can be opened without tools. The Venturis models are designed for
mainstream office use; Celebris models are configured for high performance
applications such as scientific, engineering, analysis, software
development, and desktop publishing.

"Our growth in desktop shipments has generated cost savings that we can now
pass along to our reseller partners and business customers," explained
Skip Gladfelter, vice president of America's marketing, Digital Personal
Computer Business Unit. Earlier last week, Digital PC announced price
reductions of up to 19 percent for its Digital HiNote color notebooks.
Gladfelter said: "Both the notebook and desktop announcements emphasize
our determination to remain aggressively priced with the functionality,
quality, and support that our customers demand."

Venturis, Celebris, and HiNote systems are available from resellers,
distributors, systems integrators, and direct from Digital.
