Source of VRAM chips for G3

Where does one buy VRAM chips for G3 these days? I found one on Aliexpress but seller has not sent after a month of wait and I will probably be getting an automatic refund soon.

This is what mine has and I need to purchase a few:

If you have a g3 beige, I have a 4mb card available.

If you just need chip, you can snag them from cheap PC ATI Rage Pro video cards. The Apple 4MB cards are getting harder to find same with PC card SODIMMs.

Part	KM416S1120DT-G8

I’m confused. If we’re talking Beige G3 onboard VRAM, then those use SGRAM with a QFP-100 footprint, whereas the KM416S1120DT is TSOP.

What machine are we actually talking about?
