MICRON ELECTRONICS, INC., INTRODUCES 150MHz and 166MHz PENTIUM SYSTEMS

Nampa, Idaho, January 4, 1996

Micron Electronics, Inc., today introduced the Micron Millennia P150 and
Millennia Plus P166, additions to its high-performance Millennia line.
Micron also introduced the HomePro MPC P150 and the HomePro MPC P166,
additions to its line of high-performance home computers. All of these
systems incorporate high-performance 64-bit memory architecture designed
to fully exploit the potential of Intel's 150MHz and 166MHz Pentium
processors. The memory subsystems in each system include the combination
of Micron EDO (extended data out) memory and Micron SyncBurst cache
providing significant performance gains over previous designs. The
Millennia Plus P166 also incorporates an Ultra SCSI fast-20 hard disk
controller.

"Not surprisingly, the Micron Millennia Plus P166, with its Fast SCSI hard
disk, notched top score of 1,210 in our Disk WinMark 96 tests," writes
Brian Nadel in PC Magazine's January 1996 issue. The Millennia Plus P166
mixes solid performance with high-end components.

Starting at $2,299, the Micron Millennia P150 includes an Intel 150MHz
Pentium processor, 256K of Micron SyncBurst cache, 8MB of Micron EDO
memory, a 850MB enhanced IDE hard drive, a 6x CD-ROM drive, a Creative
Labs SoundBlaster 16 sound card and speakers, a 64-bit PCI graphics
accelerator, and a 15" Micron 15FGx color monitor.

Entry-level system configurations of the HomePro MPC P150 start at $3,199
and include 256K of Micron SyncBurst cache, 16MB of RAM, a 1.2GB enhanced
IDE hard drive, a 6x CD-ROM drive, a Creative Labs SoundBlaster 16 sound
card and speakers, and a 64-bit PCI graphics accelerator.

All new Micron computer systems come with the Micron Power warranty. The
Micron Power warranty includes a five-year limited warranty on the
microprocessor and main memory, and a three-year limited parts only system
warranty. Micron also offers a one-year on-site service agreement and 30
days of free software support.
