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
