COMPAQ INTRODUCES NEW PENTIUM DESKTOP COMPUTERS FOR BUSINESSES -- ANNOUNCES
INTENT TO USE NEW 133 MHZ PENTIUM PROCESSOR IN DESKTOPS, SERVERS

HOUSTON, June 12, 1995 -- Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE:CPQ) today
expanded its flagship Compaq Deskpro XL line by introducing new desktop
models based on the recently introduced Intel 120 MHz Pentium
microprocessor. Models of the new Compaq Deskpro XL 5120, available in
quantity today, round out the flagship desktop line designed for the most
demanding business applications, such as computer-aided design and
sophisticated financial analysis. It is the first product in its class to
use the 120 MHz Pentium processor. The new models, which start at $3,950
(NOTE 1), are about 15 percent faster than models using 100 MHz Pentium
processors.

In a related move, Compaq announced its intent to offer both desktops and
servers based on the new 133 MHz Pentium processor, which was announced
today by Intel Corporation. Compaq will deliver a variety of new products
based on this new Pentium processor later this year.

"Compaq was one of the first companies to use the Pentium processor and
today we continue to offer the broadest line of Pentium-based models,"
said John T. Rose, Compaq senior vice president and general manager,
desktop division. "In fact, more than half ofour desktops -- commercial
and consumer -- and virtually all of our servers currently being shipped
in the U.S. are Pentium-based."

Models of the 120 MHz Compaq Deskpro XL include 16 MB of random access
memory, a 256 KB secondary cache, a one GB SCSI hard drive, the
TriFlex/PCI, EISA and PCI local bus architectures, an integrated network
controller and high performance graphics -- all as standard. The entire
line of products is upgradeable to Intel's next generation processor and
comes with a full complement of service and support programs, including a
three-year limited warranty and around-the-clock technical support.

The Compaq Deskpro XL line also features several technology advancements,
such as the SilentCool Fan that significantly reduces noise and increases
cooling for all PC components, and the Compaq Vocalyst Keyboard that
includes an integrated high-fidelity speakerphone and microphone. The
products include SafeStart, a unique virus detection program for a
first-line defense against potential data corruption from computer
viruses.

In March Compaq announced the ProLiant 1500 5/120, one of the first high
availability servers to use the 120 MHz Pentium processor.
