Michael - Intel and Oracle Teaming Up In Servers "Appliance Servers"! Looks like Larry Ellison is pursuing an Intel-centric approach instead of trying to put Intel/Microsoft out of business. Yesterday's enemy is tomorrow's partner! Paul {================} infoworld.com Oracle's Ellison pushes "plug-and-play" servers By Ephraim Schwartz InfoWorld Electric Posted at 5:44 PM PT, Jan 27, 1998 SAN FRANCISCO -- Larry Ellison, chairman and CEO of Oracle, kept an overflowing audience of investment bankers in rapt attention on Tuesday as he talked about Oracle's poor financial showing last quarter, the network computing architecture, and servers as plug-in appliances during his keynote address at the Technology Week conference here, put on annually by NationsBanc Montgomery Securities. In two separate question-and-answer periods, one for the attendees and one for the press, Ellison elaborated on a concept for pre-configured, plug-in servers. "We are working with Intel to create appliance servers," Ellison said, saying that they would be available by the end of the first half of the year. Ellison said the "Oracle 8 Server" would use an Intel architecture and compare favorably in terms of setup to a "Cisco router.just plug it in to the network and it works," Ellison said. "All this server does is run Oracle 8," he said during the question-and-answer period with the media. "It will be a pre-configured box with dramatically lower total cost of ownership."

Michael - This Benchmark will Make Ali Chen and Fuchi Wu Happy! 3D Graphics performance Tests from Tom Uberclockermeister. Paul {=============================} tomshardware.com If you want to buy a 3D graphic card, you got to realize the 3D geometry performance of your system. Currently the IDT WinChip is offering the worst, the next one is the 6x86MX, then the K6, followed by the Pentium MMX and the best 3D geometry performance in X86 systems you'll of course find in Pentium Pro/Pentium II systems.
