doesn't necessarily sound like a failing alternator (per se) to me (though I haven't had one fail on a 9-5)... if the alternator dies, the car runs off the battery + eventually everything slows + fades until the car stops + goes nowhere (once the battery runs out of juice)... (note that even a 6 month old battery can still fail randomly - had that happen once... need to avr test to know for sure, but I doubt that's it: wouldn't really cause your symptoms)
did you check that the serp belt + idler pulley are still intact?
