 DEC 3000 Model 900 AXP Workstation Info Sheet

 HIGHLIGHTS

 o  Fastest workstation in the world

 o  Leadership performance and price/performance, better than IBM, HP,
    or SGI

 o  16.82 XMARKS, fastest in the world

 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

 In announcing the DEC 3000 Model 900 AXP workstation, Digital is
 responding to more and more complex user requirements:

 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  (NOTE: Pricing is U.S. only)

 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.

 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.

 Factory installed software is not a substitute for media and
 documentation. Users order either the OpenVMS AXP V6.1 or DEC OSF/1
 V2.1 media and documentation kit as a separate line item. Although all
 systems with a disk have factory installed software, we recommend at
 least one media and documentation kit per site.

 SERVICES

 DEC 3000 AXP systems are supported worldwide by Digital's service
 organization and covered by Digital's standard warranty services.
