Farenheit 1280 card:
Orchid tech. has several graphic cards such as F1280, Prodesigner II and
a new one F1280-SA (?). Which card has which kind of S8 chips on it, could
somebody tell me ? and will Amacio's XS3 support current as well as new
S3 chips ? (The 1280-SA is the one with "voice" feature).
What is the new S3 chip coming in a month  that has several times the 
performance of current S3 chip ?
I need to know since I am about to buy one of the Orchid card and want
to pick the best one.
Thank you
