It's 8MB, that's why I mentioned it. I will edit my post.

I think the advantages to 8MB would be 1) maybe smoother play from less texture memory swapping in some later games 2) higher resolutions. I'm not sure the latter is useful considering the performance level and the former probably won't show up on benchmarks other than a simple large texture test. …

I think I asked it before somewhere, but what could be considered the most balanced CPU to match with a Rendition 2100 PCI? I'd imagine it would be a Pentium MMX 233 or so? According to http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/3d-accelerator-review-step,51-23.html it depends, but a Pentium MMX 233 …

This seems to be an appropriate place to dump some Rendition literature (see attachments). v2200spec.pdf is very interesting and could answer some questions about the performance of V1000 and V2x00, even if you don't want to program the chips yourself. (The spec is for the V2200, but in several …
