HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 28, 1999--In response to an article published by InfoWorld
Electric Magazine on September 24, 1999, Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE:CPQ - news),
confirmed today that its ProLiant 8000 and ProLiant 8500 servers are unaffected by the Intel ''bug,''

on server supply or availability. For further information, please visit: compaq.com.
