COMPAQ BOLSTERS MOST SUCCESSFUL DESKTOP LINES WITH NEW PENTIUM MODELS

HOUSTON, July 10, 1995 -- Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE:CPQ) today
added new models to its popular ProLinea and Deskpro business desktop
personal computer line based on the Intel 120 MHz Pentium microprocessor.

Models of the new Compaq ProLinea 5120 and Compaq Deskpro 5120, available
today, range in price from $2,599 to $3,599 (NOTE 1). Including today's
announcement, Compaq has introduced 51 new Pentium-based business desktop
products this year alone.

The Compaq ProLinea family is designed for more value-oriented customers
who may not require the network-ready features of the Compaq Deskpro. The
new 120 MHz Pentium models include 16 MB of RAM, a 256 KB secondary cache,
a one-gigabyte IDE hard drive, TriFlex/PCI, ISA and PCI local bus
architectures, and high performance graphics.

Through its unique Intelligent Manageability and integrated network
features, the Compaq Deskpro series is specifically designed to lower
costs associated with a networked environment. All Compaq Deskpro models
are easy to install and manage on the network. They include industry
leading features such as asset management, fault management, security
management, an integrated 32-bit PCI Ethernet network controller,
pre-installed network drivers, and a network setup utility.

In June, Compaq added new 120 MHz Pentium models to the flagship Compaq
Deskpro XL family. Earlier in March, Compaq announced the ProLiant 1500
5/120, one of the first high availability servers to use the 120 MHz
Pentium processor.

Later this year, Compaq plans to introduce a variety of new desktop and
server products based on the recently announced 133 MHz Pentium
processor.
