You should get at least 12MB to avoid excessive swapping. I have the same video card and the video performance is OK for most applications. Here are some benchmarks I did for the LJ article that was just published: MAC LC III 68040, 25 MHz AMD486DX4-100 S3 864, 8bit X under Linux 1.2.8 Dhrystones 5.9 8.4 Spedometer CPU index 6.8 13.9 Spedometer Graphics 7.6 5 5.1 (-privatecmap) Spedometer 8bit graphics 2.3 1.2 2.5 (-privatecmap) Bottomline the DX4-100 is faster than a Mac LC III for almost everything and if one uses the -privatecmap option for X-windows the grapics performance is reasonable with an accelerated graphics card.
