Actually, that's what I'm doing. SH3 has always run great on my 3 year old desktop, and I put SH4 on my laptop because the specs seemed close, and the laptop is just 7 month's old with a better graphic card and more up to date drivers.
I fear the decision is not clear, which was my quandry. My sense is: the consensus seems to be that the better graphic's card of he laptop is the decider. I like the 1280 x 800 wide horizon view, even if it is emulated and cropped. I don't think it's worth upgrading now. I'll hang with what I've got for a year or so, then get a new Vista screamer after MS gets it debugged and there's a full range of drivers available. Hopefully SH4 will be debugged and upgraded by then too.
Thank you everyone for your advice and opinions. It did help, and I learned somethings about my rig.
