The low-clocked Vanta-LT (AGP x2 version) was one of the few AGP cards that ran stably in the GA-586SG (SIS5591 chipset). More powerful cards caused the system to hang. So it may be useful in early boards with buggy AGP implementation (i.e. PC CHIPS BX Cell).

Intel Pentium minimum multiplier is 1.5x, but you can force 1x for Cyrix 6x86 (non MX) - set it for 2.5x. https://www.pchardwarelinks.com/cpuspeed.htm

I've considered an XT-IDE, but the Monotech DeluxeFloppy does floppy, IDE, and has a serial port for a mouse. I've attached a photo for you as you requested. Unfortunately Monotech DeluxeFloppy doesn't do IDE. It just provides support for all floppy formats (up to 2.88 MB), which 5150 BIOS doesn't …

Do you have (or want to get) an RGBI monitor? VGA will never give you those amazing scanlines that CGA/EGA modes have. If you're sticking with the 4.77Mhz 8088 CPU it's going to be a struggle to find any VGA games with acceptable performance, and very few VGA cards support proper CGA emulation so …

I'd say that expanding system ram will be more reasonable than adding ems memory. https://www.lo-tech.co.uk/wiki/Lo-tech_1MB_RAM_Board Next step - XT IDE for sure (XT-CF Lite v2). For Soundcard ? Snark Barker (SB 1.0 clone - PCM+OPL2+CMS chips) will fit best - if you can find one already assembled ( …

If the diagnostic LEDs on each MSI board have the same meaning, this table may be useful. I didn't find it in MS-6153 manual on MSI webpage (probably because it is for ver:1.0 of the board). green-red-green-red (1-0-1-0) is Test shadow memory .

It depends. Sometimes you have to use so called "low density" ram sticks. For example older chipsets (BX) doesn't support 512 MB sticks at all, and regarding 256MB ones you have to choose carefully (those with more chips works better). For newer chipsets (i845, KT133, etc.) I would choose the …
