That's odd, i've had a few problems with SDI like it installing the incorrect driver for my touchpad so it doesn't work at all, and if a display driver "failed to extract" it uninstalls the display driver.
I first used Windows Vista on a eMachines T3000 series tower my dad got for my brothers in 2008 or 2009. It had dedicated graphics (ATI i think) and it ran it very well. Used it to play shockwave games mostly. I regret getting rid of it in 2013. In 2018 i had Windows Vista running on a cheap 480gb Patriot Burst SSD i bought off NewEgg on sale for about $55 for my Toshiba Satellite L67D-S7052. The laptop had a 2.9 ghz AMD N640 dual core CPU i had upgraded to a 2.2ghz AMD N970 quad core cpu. Windows Vista ran on it so well. The best looking Windows OS IMO.
