I saw an older thread on here where some dude had a PCMCIA video card thingy that was supported by Savage S3 Trio 64V+ graphics. Would love to get one of those for my Lifebook, but are they good or not? And how common are they?

The Canopus card is really uncommon, I saw only 2 for sale on Yahoo over 2 years, one of which I bought.
You can try the benchmark I used with my card and compare the results:

If i had to guess, I'd say your Trident Cyber9388 is faster though...

The Villagetronic VT Book is easy to find, but you'll need Windows 2000.
