Hi folk,

  >>a new one F1280-SA (?). Which card has which kind of S8 chips on it,

F1280VA(Voice Annotation) and S3 chip. 
Localbus version F1280VA/VLB have been announced, but not come out.

  >>What is the new S3 chip coming in a month  that has several times the 
  >>performance of current S3 chip ?

S3 86C801/805? I think they are at least 50% faster than 86C911(F1280).
Actix's 86C801 SVGA card(408-980-5400) could be considered.
