I have tried that on S3 Tri with 4MB VRAM and it shows:

Memory Range: 0xf8000000-0xfbffffff (rw,non-prefetchable)

and no prefetchable lines were found.
I did as you say: 201,326,591 - 134,217,728 = 67,108,863 (=64 MB,
which is simply not true)
lspci -vv also shows 64 MB of non-prefetchable memory.

But, of course ancient S3 Trio cards have no 64MB of VRAM.
