The built in Intel Chipset is just not meant for gaming. Although the more recent ones come with 512 mb dedicated memory onboard to give some extra power, it's usually only enough to play ancient games at lowest settings. Yet you might experience lags and abysmal frame rates.

Your 128 mb shared memory is not adequate to play games of the likes of SH3. Plus, the Intel Atom processor lacks the processing power of more conventional mobile processors. My sis just got a Dell netbook with exactly similar specs to your netbook and she can't even run Microsoft Office 2010 - not enough memory!.

I believe the answer is no. You won't be able to run SH3 on your netbook.

Just my 2 cents.
I stopped reading after your post. Your Right It can't be played on a Netbook.

Basically. Not Enough Horsepower.
