it shouldn't have much of a problem with SH3, and it is a discrete chip (it has its own memory so it dosn't hog up the system's RAM) and some forms of it support HDMI. It does pale in comparison to an 8600 or 8800 but compared to like an Nvidia 6150 or an Intel X3100 its not bad, if you throw crazy new stuff at it, its hard to say. If your card does need more than 128mb for any reason it will start dipping into the ram but thats how all the newer discrete chips are anyways.
