At the fall Comdex show in November 1998, AMD will preview the K7, a new chip generation that will emulate the "Slot 1" architecture of the Pentium II. But the K7 will have a completely different data "bus" architecture than the Pentium II's Slot 1: the "Alpha" or EV6 bus from Digital Equipment. The K7 chip will run at more than 500 MHz, according to the company. The above was stated by AMD on Oct 14. But on Oct 27 Digital settled with Intel. Wasn't the Alpha architecture turned over to Intel in the settlement. Does anyone know what the ramifications for AMD using the Alpha Digital Bus will be?

<<re: This adds to my suspicion that the Oracle Asian debacle was a cover up for something else that is ailing Oracle sales.>> Mary I agree the tech sector took a hit because of the Oracle debacle. Oracle blamed the Asian crisis, but the real reason for Oracle's downturn is Windows NT growth over Unix and Oracle's continued disdain of Windows NT and Microsoft's competing DB product SQL Server. But it didn't matter. Once Oracle fell and blamed the Asian crisis, all the Tech stocks were hit.

On Japan's stimulus package to restore Confidence-(incentive worth 5 Trillion Yen.) Mary: Here is a bit about the Japanese stimulus package worth about over 1% of GDP. Hope this will restore some confidence in the world financial markets !!!! biz.yahoo.com REF:Oracle: Hey Mary have some faith ,you always make sense ! TO add to what you just said may I opine that from what I read the main problem with Ellison and gang is that they moved away from their 'core competence' (i hate this new biz phrases-Paradigm shift is another one, but I like Andy Grove's 'strategic inflection point' at least it is unique and means something and no so esoteric as the others.Sorry I digress) and strayed into something called NC. Who knows may be Ellison's 'Japanese wisdom' knows better only time will tell.
