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
Andreas
