ALR FIRST TO SHIP QUAD PENTIUM PRO SERVERS

ROLLS OUT 200-MHZ MODEL

Irvine, CA, April 16,1996-- Advanced Logic Research, Inc. (NASDAQ:AALR)
announced that it will begin shipping the industry's first 200-MHz, quad
processing Pentium Pro servers later this week. The ALR Revolution Quad6
200/256 can be configured with up to four of Intel's fastest processors,
making it an ideal platform for high-traffic, enterprise-wide, server
applications. The 200-MHz model, announced today, joins 166-MHz models of
the ALR Revolution Quad6, announced March 5, 1996. Both 166- and 200-MHz
models are available immediately.

The ALR Revolution Quad6 is engineered, designed and manufactured by ALR.
With the addition of the new model, customers can choose the processor
standard that best suits their environment. Its large 512-KB cache, the
166-MHz Pentium Pro chip delivers enhanced scalability in the most
demanding multiprocessor applications. The 200-MHz chip, with its standard
256-KB cache, is well-suited for those applications where internal
processor speed is at a premium. Both configurations offer high-level
performance and run best in 32-bit multiprocessing operating environments
such as Microsoft Windows NT (SMP), SCO UNIX (MPX/SMP), Novell NetWare
SMP, Sun Solaris (SMP), and IBM OS/2 (SMP).

Genny Ortegon, vice president of marketing for ALR states, "As an industry
leader in the super server market, we are very pleased with the positive
response received from both the press and our customers. Our decision to
design and manufacture our own system board has given ALR the opportunity
to be a first-to-market player with powerful enterprise computing
solutions."

Ortegon also calls attention to a recent PC Week review that christened the
ALR Revolution Quad6 "... a new standard in high-end server design."

The Revolution Quad6 offers several advanced features including support for
four-way memory interleaving, integrated hardware management, and
extensive expandability. These features make it a natural choice for
mission critical database and transaction processing applications, as well
as an internet/intranet server applications.
