OK. As skyscrapper was (very gently indeed) suggesting my previous choices were a bit of an overkill for a modest 486 build, I finally went for Number Nine 9FX Motion 331 (S3 Trio64V+), 2mb.

It was 5$ incl. shippment, not too bad.

The S3 Trio64V+ is probably faster* in DOS than all the S3 Vision cards, not by much though. 😉

For the price it was a really great buy.

*With a faster system.
