DEC 3000 Model 900 AXP Workstation

HIGHLIGHTS

o  Leadership performance and price/performance

o  16.82 XMARKS -- one of the fastest workstations in the world

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Model 900 offers 40 percent better performance and twice the disk space
of the Model 800 for less than 18 percent more in cost. Thus Digital
continues to offer its users outstanding price/performance in its
workstations. Moreover, upgrades from existing Model 800 systems to the
Model 900 are an easy motherboard swap, protecting earlier investments.

In announcing the DEC 3000 Model 900 AXP workstation, Digital is meeting
such complex user requirements as the following:

o  Users are working with complex MCAD solid models, GIS datasets, or
   molecular models that require increased performance.

o  Workstation applications demand more performance to deliver more results.

o  Users need all the performance they can get in their office to solve
   their business problems.

The Model 900 offers more power than any other workstation in the industry,
with unsurpassed computing and graphics performance. It has scored 16.82
XMARKS in performance with the standard ZLX-E1 graphics card.

BENEFITS

o  Most graphics and computational calculations are designed to run on
   uniprocessor systems such as Digital's DEC 3000 family, and the Model 900
   offers the highest level of integer, floating point, and graphics
   performance available today.

o  The entire line of Alpha AXP systems is binary compatible from the lowest
   cost to the fastest. This binary compatibility eliminates the need to
   choose between performance and compatibility. Upgrades from current AXP
   workstations to the Model 900 systems protect users' investments.

AVAILABILITY AND ORDERING

The DEC 3000 Model 900 AXP workstation will be available in August 1994 with
DEC OSF/1 AXP V2.1 and OpenVMS AXP V6.1. The packaged systems (Northern
Hemisphere, 120/240 V) include licenses; the system building blocks (120/240
V) include licenses but require the addition of graphics, disks, monitors,
and keyboards.

Digital is offering upgrades from the Model 800 family to the new Model 900
family with a field service installed board swap. Users upgrading from a
Model 500 or 500X will receive a complete new system box.

OpenVMS AXP V6.1 and DEC OSF/1 V2.1 media and documentation kits are
available as separate line items. Although all systems with a disk have
factory installed software, at least one media and documentation kit per
site is recommended.
