- With 8MB of RAM you'll have trouble in X-windows. 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.

- Hope that helps
