APPLE COMPUTER, INC.'s PCI POWER MACINTOSH

Diamond's First Macintosh Multimedia Accelerator Combines Graphics
Acceleration with Digital Video Scaling at an Affordable Price

New York, June 19, 1995 -- Diamond Multimedia (NASDAQ: DIMD) today
announced at PC Expo its first PCI-based Macintosh multimedia accelerator
product which supports Apple Computer, Inc.'s next-generation Power
Macintosh system, the PowerMac 9500XXX. The Diamond Javelin Video 3000
series multimedia accelerators are based on the popular Stealth64 Video
PCI technology and will provide the Macintosh user with cost-effective,
high-resolution PCI-based products with high-speed graphics and digital
video playback.

"The Macintosh market provides an ideal fit with Diamond's accelerator
technology and we plan to support it through a line of PCI based
products," said Ken Wirt, vice president of marketing at Diamond
Multimedia. "Diamond's strength and leadership position in providing
high-performance graphics and multimedia subsystems, such as its line of
SpeedStar, Stealth and Viper products, for the personal computer market,
as well as its experience in developing PCI based products for PowerPC
platforms, creates an optimal solution for the needs of the RlSC-based
Power Macintosh. The Mac user will be able to take advantage of
exceptional graphics performance and accelerated digital video playback at
a price far below those previously available in the Macintosh
environment," explained Wirt.

"We are delighted that Diamond Multimedia is supporting the next generation
Power Macintosh with PCI," said Brody Keast, vice president of marketing
at Apple Computer. The widespread Support from major PCI product
developers like Diamond Multimedia clearly demonstrates the support for
the Power Macintosh platform. Ultimately, it is the customers that
benefit, because they will have the choice between a wide variety of
industry standard PCI cards to use in their Power Macs."
