I can't say I know the graphics card, but it depends on a couple of things:
Does is have WDDM drivers?
Does it support Pixel Shading 2.0
Does it have at least 128Mb on-board memory?
From the little I know, SiS are not known for gaming or high-end graphics, so I doubt it. Also, you'll need Vista compatible drivers. The ones MS ship in Vista for my Radeon 9200 SE doesn't detect the dedicated memory - so no Aero glass for me.
However Vista will still run on all graphics cards (within reason, a 10 year old on-board will probably struggle!), regardless of spec. And the new UI is also present - just no glass / cool shading.
Cheers,
Steve.
