             DIGITAL NOW RANKED AMONG LEADING PC VENDORS


MAYNARD, Mass. -- January 20, 1993 -- Digital Equipment Corporation
has penetrated the top-ten PC makers ranking for the first time,
according to a monthly market study published by Computer
Intelligence of La Jolla, California.
     "Digital was the fastest growing PC vendor in 1992,
establishing Digital's credibility in Intel-based PC products.  The
forthcoming Digital Alpha AXP-PCs, running Microsoft's Windows NT
operating system, should help Digital grow even more aggressively in
1993," said Dan Ness, senior industry analyst, Computer
Intelligence.  Digital launched its Desktop Direct catalog business
in January, 1992, and introduced its popular DECpc LP family of
desktop computers in August.
     "This month, Digital is included again in Computer
Intelligence's monthly listing of fastest growing PC makers.  No
other vendor has had a stronger presence on that list in the past
year," Ness said.
     Each month, Computer Intelligence conducts in-depth interviews
with 4,500 computer purchasing managers at large and small
establishments in the U.S.  Computer Intelligence publishes its
findings from these interviews in its monthly PC Market Monitor.
     Within the last 12 months, Digital's PC sales ramped up past
about 20 other vendors in order to reach its current ranking of #9
among PC industry leaders, according to Computer Intelligence.
     Digital Equipment Corporation headquartered in Maynard,
Massachusetts, is the leading worldwide supplier of networked
computer systems, software and services.  Digital pioneered and
leads the industry in interactive, distributed and multivendor
computing.  Digital and its business partners deliver the power to
use the best integrated solutions - from desktop to data center -
in open information environments.
