I was originally thinking of getting an Intel mobo/proc combo, but I'm slowly changing my mind as I hear that Prescotts are abominations (Northwoods are being killed off and I can't afford one right this second). My question is though, I love playing modern and old games, old games from like 15 years ago, and Intel have always seemed good for this because of their 'stability and compatibility'. But I was wondering that if I did go down the AMD route, would I experience any problems with AMD mobos/proc when trying to play very old/oldish games for example? Software from pre-1990 to 1999. I know incompatibility normally comes from the OS or graphics cards, but I'm still wondeing about AMD related components.
I use Microsoft Virtual PC to play all my old games. I have a Win XP computer but I have Win 95 & 98 installed in virtual pc, I think this would be your best route to play all your old games.

I totally dislike second-hand stuff, because it smells, lol.
Anyway, if Mr Bigs is right, then I'm the latest person to be converted from Intel to AMD! Aleluya!

You'll be fine.
If you’re that much of an enthusiast why don’t you just buy a really cheap old pc for playing all your classics?
