Our last i3 Win81 lappy died a few weeks ago. Onboard Intel graphics, and it did fine with SH3, and could do most SH4 mods. The mid-grade i5 machine with onboard Intel HD graphics does fine also, and can even run SH4 with FotRSU on Win10. It is "tight" though. Two desktops, one with Win10, the other a triple-boot XP / Win7 / Win10 machine (XP is still needed for a couple of audio apps) does fine with all of the SH series games, and is able to run SH4 FotRSU in Windows XP also, using the 3Gig switch in the boot.ini - In other words, all versions of Windows, from XP through Win11 will run SH3 no problem. You are better off with a 64-bit machine though, to be able to set the SH3.exe file to be LAA. It is just a matter of setting the SH3.exe Properties pages, especially the Compatibility tab, to suit your video system.
