I have installed 1 MByte Taiwanese clones (Sella brand) using S3 86C764 on 486DX4/100 machines with very satisfactory results. You should have no problem using any up-to-date (ie XFree86 3.1.2) distribution. >And...The BIG question...Should I bother with Linux at all? Depends on what you're looking for!
