CONNECTIX SHIPS AGENT 95 FOR WINDOWS 95

First performance utility designed exclusively for Windows 95 analyzes
Windows 95 to achieve optimal performance

SAN MATEO, CA, MAY 13, 1996 - Connectix Corporation announced today it is
shipping Agent 95, a real-time performance diagnostic utility that helps
users work smarter, faster and more efficiently with Windows(r) 95. With
an expected street price of US$59.95, Agent 95 provides exact readings, in
real time, about application and system memory usage with no guesswork
about performance slowdowns. When Windows 95 memory, resources or
performance become low, Agent 95 responds with configurable on screen
alerts.

Agent 95 includes four agents: Memory Agent, Resource Agent, Performance
Agent and System Info Agent. Each agent works to provide up-to-date
information about the end user's system, and graphical charts to
communicate performance information in an easy-to-understand format.

Agent 95 is designed exclusively for Windows 95, taking advantage of unique
Windows 95 features, specifically the memory management model and the
graphical user interface. Agent 95 requires only 180K of available memory
to operate when running in Reduced Mode (approximately 600K in Full
Mode).

Gina Clark, Group Product Manager, comments, "As users begin multitasking
and pushing Windows 95 to its limit, there is an increased need for
optimal and reliable performance from the system. Agent 95 is the first
utility to specifically analyze Windows 95 performance and ensure the best
possible results."

AGENT 95 WORKS IN REAL TIME

Unlike other diagnostics which display static information, Agent 95
continuously measures and analyzes the system to provide real-time
information. Access to all Agent 95 features is available from the Agent
95 icon in the Taskbar Tray.

--Memory Agent--

When the hard disk is grinding away, Windows 95 is using virtual memory
because physical RAM is not available. Agent 95's Memory Agent reports
exactly how applications are using physical RAM and virtual memory to
maximize use of existing physical RAM and improve performance.

--Resource Agent--

Greater use of multitasking under Windows 95 increases the demand on System
Resources. When a system resource limitation is reached, Windows 95 may
truncate the names of files to save resources, be unable to open
additional applications, or become unstable. Resource Agent informs users
exactly how each application and Windows 95 are using System Resources.

--Performance Agent--

Performance Agent analyzes how the system and applications are using
physical RAM and virtual memory. An easy-to-understand bar chart
dynamically updates the display of memory usage, average performance, and
trends. Performance Agent provides the best method to track virtual memory
dependency and determine how adding additional physical RAM will affect
overall performance.

--System Info Agent--

System Info Agent provides one click access to important system information
that is either unavailable or hard to find in Windows 95. The information
gathered by Agent 95 can be emailed, faxed or printed to share with
support personnel or used as a quick reference when upgrading the system
or peripherals. System Info Agent also gives easy access to device
information and network properties.

--Dynamic RAM Compression--

Agent 95's dynamic RAM compression improves virtual memory performance in
certain situations. Unlike fixed-size RAM compression found in other
products, Agent 95's unique compression activates only when it can help
performance and won't slow the system down when memory demands increase.

REQUIREMENTS

Agent 95 requires Windows 95, a PC equipped with 486 or higher processor, 8
MBs RAM minimum; 16 MBs recommended, 1 MB hard disk space, and a mouse or
other pointing device.
