  I don't expect it to make much difference.  Although Diamond
used/uses S3 for a higher-perfomance range of cards than it did Cirrus,
I don't think the 805 was at that level.  I expect any difference to be
in the S3's favour -- except possibly availability of drivers! -- but I
don't expect the difference to be noticable.
