DELL INTRODUCES "ENHANCED PERFORMANCE" PENTIUM PROCESSOR-BASED DESKTOPS

AUSTIN, Texas, March 27, 1995 -- Dell Computer Corporation (Nasdaq: DELL)
today announced its new Dell Dimension XPS "enhanced performance" desktop
family based on Intel's new Triton chipset with support for 120MHz and
100MHz Pentium processors.

Building on Dell's award-winning product line, the new Dell Dimension XPS
systems lead the market in performance once again. The combination of the
fastest Pentium processor technology, new memory architecture, and high
performance 128-bit graphics provide significant enhanced speed and video
performance. The new Dell Dimension XPS systems are optimized for
Microsoft's upcoming Windows 95 operating system.

Available immediately in the United States and Canada, prices for the new
Dell Dimension XPS series start at $2,599.

The new Dell Dimension XPS systems come equipped with a new
high-performance memory architecture comprised of EDO (extended data
output) memory and a pipeline burst caching subsystem -- making them among
of the industry's fastest Pentium processor-based machines.

New EDO memory has two times more bandwidth than traditional pagemode
memory. The increased bandwidth allows memory operations to be performed
in fewer clock cycles, reducing the number of wait states between
instructions and increasing overall system performance.

Pipeline-burst cache is a new high-speed cache memory that provides up to
10 percent faster performance than traditional asynchronous cache used in
many of today's mainstream systems. Pipeline-burst cache memory increases
the speed at which memory instructions are transmitted, reducing the
overall time it takes one's computer to execute commands. The Dell
Dimension XPS systems come fully equipped with up to 512KB of cache -- a
significant performance improvement over the standard 256KB.

In addition, the new Dell Dimension XPS systems offer the flexibility and
extensive expansion capabilities demanded by cutting edge users. Available
in both minitower and desktop chassis, the Dell Dimension XPS system
includes both ISA bus and PCI bus expansion slots with PCI video adapter
options ranging up to the Number Nine Imagine 128-bit graphics accelerator
with 4MB of VRAM. The Enhanced IDE interface of the Dell Dimension XPS
system supports up to four IDE devices including new higher performance
mode 4 PIO hard drives and quad-speed CD-ROM drives.

With an advanced feature set, the Dell Dimension XPS is ideal for customers
using Windows-based applications such as advanced spreadsheet and database
programs, high-resolution graphics for desktop publishing and CAD
(Computer Aided Design), as well as compute- and graphics-intensive
multimedia applications.

The Dell Dimension XPS family continues to be recognized by
industry-leading publications as providing exceptional performance,
quality and technical engineering. Recent awards include PC Magazine's
Editors' Choice, PC Computing's MVP, PC Magazine's Best of 1994 as well as
PC World's Best Buy for eight consecutive months.
