ThePS/ValuePoint (or justValuePoint) personal computer wasIBM's answer to the PC clone market, where theIBM PS/2 could not compete due to price and proprietary interfaces. Announced in October 1992 and withdrawn in July 1995, it was replaced by theIBM PC Series 300.

These systems used standardIndustry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus, SVGA graphics and IDE hard disks. Later models introducedVESA Local Bus andPCI.
Processors range from the386SLC-25,486SX-25,486DX-33, and486DX2-66 to thePentium 60.
