DELL INTRODUCES NEW ENTRY-LEVEL BUSINESS PCS WITH INTEL 166 MHZ PENTIUM
PROCESSOR

AUSTIN, TEXAS, MAY 1, 1996 -- Dell Computer Corporation (Nasdaq: DELL)
today announced a new version of its entry-level business PCs with Intel's
166 MHz Pentiumc processor for less than $2,235. Available now, the new
Dellc OptiPlex G5166 is aimed at corporate, government and education
customers who need a powerful low-cost PC with enterprise-level
reliability and stability.

Today's announcement demonstrates Dell's ability to lead the industry in
low prices and value on the latest technology through its build-to-order
direct manufacturing model. Dell first shipped the powerful Intel 166 MHz
Pentium processor on the OptiPlex line of PCs in January with the GX5166,
a mainstream business PC with integrated networking, sound and full-motion
multimedia.

"More than 90 percent of Dell's sales go to business, government and
education customers who need to equip their employees with the latest,
most relevant technology while managing lifecycle costs," said Tom Martin,
Dell's vice president of marketing for major accounts. "By reducing prices
on the most current computer systems, Dell continues to help lower the
total cost of PC ownership for its customers. A good example of this is
today's OptiPlex G5166, which at $2,235 is up to 30 percent below major
competitors' prices* for comparable systems."

For $2,235, customers can purchase an OptiPlex G5166 with 16MB extended
data out (EDO) random access memory (RAM), a 1 GB hard drive, a 15-inch
(viewable 13.7 inch) color monitor, a three-year limited warranty* and
MS-DOSc, Windowsc 3.11, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, or Windows 95 . The
system can be upgraded with a range of optional features including 256 KB
of pipeline burst cache for $69 and an integrated 3Comc 10Mb Ethernet
solution for $50. The system can also be purchased with Windows NT r 3.51
and OS/2c 2.11.

READY AND CERTIFIED FOR YOUR NETWORK

The optional integrated networking solution from 3Com Corporation is
integrated directly on the motherboard, providing customers with increased
reliability, reduced integration costs and an additional free slot for
future expandability. This network solution is a direct result of Dell's
strategic alliance with 3Com who has long been recognized as a leader in
PC networking technology.

Dell's entire OptiPlex line supports the Desktop Management Task Force's
(DMTF) cooperative industry-wide effort formed to develop and deliver the
Desktop Management Interface (DMI) for easy, cost-effective network
management. DMI lowers support costs by enabling the PC to determine and
report its own components automatically, minimizing the amount of time
system administrators spend determining individual system configurations.

The OptiPlex line incorporates the Dell Inspector, a DMI compliant GUI
system management application that provides customers access to system
information down to the component level. In addition, the OptiPlex G5166
has received network certifications for Novellc NetWarec, Banyan VINES and
Sunsoft Solaris network operating systems.
