Sites about vintage computing

There are tons and tons of information out there on the internet, for those who just realized that new hardware won't cut it for old/older games. And need to build an old computer. Or just upgrading an ancient machine for this purpouse. Yeah... What to do? Where to start?

A lot of people start by looking at videos of some duchebag who is killing old hardware, by handeling it on the nylon carpet and wearing nylon based clothes. Not wearing any anti static equipment. There are other places than youtube on the internet for these type of matters. Places were people are telling you to be carefull with the old precious hardware, and WILL help you. When building a new machine is the next new personal project for you.

If you do not know where to start. Then you are in a bit of luck. Actually a lot of luck, as I have gathered three good places to start some vintage-time.


The Amd K6 Resources page
This page is a "must read" for all fan's of the K6 family of CPU's, and for fan's of the Socket Super 7 platform in general. It is well written, it has tons of information and even a little guide for tuning a Gigabyte GA-5AX motherboard. Please head down to this page, if you are planning on building a SS7 based machine.
