This machine represents Dell's top-of-the-line Dimension XPS line from that era, configured with a Number 9 video card, a mix of ISA and PCI expansion slots, and integrated I/O. The label on the rear panel confirms a manufacture date of November 1994 (date code 113094) and a model designation of XPSP90MT.

Applications
The Dimension XPS P90 was Dell's premium desktop offering aimed at power users, small businesses, and enthusiasts in 1994–1995. The Pentium 90MHz represented the high end of Intel's first-generation Pentium lineup, offering a significant performance leap over the preceding 486 DX2-66. This class of machine ran MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95 and was used for demanding tasks of the day: desktop publishing, CAD, multimedia, and early internet access. The PCI bus slots (alongside the legacy ISA slots) made this a transitional platform — early PCI expansion cards for networking, SCSI, and video were just appearing when this system was built. Today, Dell Dimension XPS P90 towers are sought after by vintage computing collectors and retro-gaming enthusiasts working to restore or run period-accurate software. The Number 9 video card was a well-regarded late ISA/early PCI-era graphics solution, and its presence here adds collector interest. Compatible operating systems include MS-DOS 6.x, Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, and Windows 95.
This Dell Dimension XPS P90 tower PC has been inspected and is in good used condition overall. It was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in use. The case shows visible scratching on the upper right side panel — this is cosmetic only and does not affect function. All expansion slots (5 ISA, 3 PCI), ports, and drives appear intact. Please review our full photo set for a close look at the cosmetic wear, and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
