The DECpc AXP 150, code-named Jensen, is an entry-level workstation developed and manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation.
The charter for the development and production of the DEC 2000 AXP was held by Digital's Entry Level Solutions Business, based in Ayr, Scotland.
Introduced on 15 November 1993, the Model 500 was similar to the Model 300, but housed in a larger pedestal-type enclosure capable with space for up to 12 3.5 in hard disks and incorporating an Intelligent Front Panel (IFP) for system monitoring and control.
The DECpc AXP 150 systems used a 150 MHz DECchip 21064 microprocessor with an external 512 KB[1] B-cache (L2 cache), which is implemented with 17 nanosecond SRAMs located on the motherboard.
The DECpc AXP 150 running Windows NT was intended to be used as a workstation and therefore can only use a VGA monitor.
In contrast, the TURBOchannel bus, while offering higher performance, would have required more expensive ASICs to implement like the DEC 3000 AXP, and would have reduced the number of third-party options available.
The real time clock and the battery-backed RAM draws power from an external 4.5 volt battery pack.
