 is One of the First PCs to Include the

Intel 815e Chipset, Providing a Tightly Integrated

and Highly Reliable Desktop Solution

Micron Electronics, Inc., (www.micronpc.com) (Nasdaq:MUEI) today unveiled the ClientPro Cn, the newest member of the micronpc.com ClientPro family and one of the first full-featured, highly-integrated desktop computers to incorporate the new Intel 815e chipset.

The ClientPro Cn provides a highly reliable and stable desktop solution designed to address the needs of medium-size businesses and government organizations, operating in a networked environment, which require a wide range of computing needs.

"The ClientPro Cn provides our customers with a fully-managed PC solution that delivers consistency in platform and components, high reliability, manageability, and technology that lasts -- all of which delivers to the IT staff the ability to standardize on one solution for multiple types of end-user applications," said Jeffrey K. Moeser, senior vice president of product development for micronpc.com. "micronpc.com's award winning ClientPro Cn has delivered on that requirement for nearly two years. The new ClientPro Cn represents the next generation of that award-winning legacy."

Moeser said the Intel 815e chip is the most logical choice for customers who are currently standardized on the Intel 440BX chip set. "We selected the 815e for the ClientPro Cn because it allows us to deliver a highly reliable platform with its tight integration of components and it supports a wide range of performance and expansion capabilities," said Moeser. "The 815e technology, matched with our engineering, low price point and management, will extend the life of the corporate PC and lower the total cost of operations for our customers."

ClientPro Cn Benefits

The ClientPro Cn combines top-to-bottom scalability with solid stability and improved performance. From its tool-less chassis to the included management solutions, this system is certain to provide the level of price, lower TCO and performance to meet any corporate need. The ClientPro Cn is also designed to be very expandable, supporting a 133 Mhz front-side bus, 133 Mhz SDRAM, graphics capable to 32MB SGRAM with dual heads, processor speeds to 1 Ghz and up (when available), and a chassis option that is ported large enough to house and cool nearly any internal computer component in existence or planned.

Designed for corporate and government use, the ClientPro Cn adheres to industry management standards such as SNMP, CIM, WBEM, DMI, etc., and incorporates a very high degree of manageability out of the box. Through the delivered software tools and hardware management layers in the system, the ClientPro Cn is designed to bring management to a non-managed network or seamlessly integrate into existing managed network infrastructures, greatly enhancing the capabilities of leading Enterprise Management solutions. Predictive failure, remote Web-based management, remote re-boot/shutdown, automatic alerting, asset management, chassis intrusion alert, automatic driver and BIOS updates, software self healing, a single point of administration and much more are the standard management signature for the ClientPro Cn.

Overall, the ClientPro Cn delivers exceptional technology at an attractive price, enabling organizations to configure a solution well within a target price range of $1,200 to $1,999.
