I got a new PC and I installed a "DIAMOND Stealth S60PCI Radeon 7000" video card into it because it only had an onboard graphics chipset.
But for some reason my PC cannot even play games like the sims2 and Roller Coaster Tycoon3 I keep getting error messages when I go to start the game.
Can anyone research my card in Google or yahoo and see what the problem could be? even my on board graphics was at least playing the game.

No, Radeon 7000 is from 2001, but it is VASTLY UNDERPOWERED even then. It's SLOWER and LESS POWERFUL than Nvidia's GeForce 256 (i.e. GeForce 1). You know that we're currently at... GeForce 8xxx. That's how old that thing is.
For all we know your onboard is more powerful than that card.

properly, if it enables, i will state that the Radeon 7000 card won't paintings with wrestle palms. The equipment standards for that sport specify DirectX 9.0c, and the 7000 in easy terms helps DirectX 8 to place it bluntly, in the adventure that your laptop would not have a PCI convey or AGP slot, it is not going to be upgradeable adequate to play that sport.

The Radeon 7000 is a SLOW and outdated video card. If you do not have a real graphics card slot (AGP or PCIe) but just PCI slots, you're out of luck. The PCI bus is SLOW for 3D graphics acceleration (games). The PCI bus would just bottleneck/slowdown any good GPU that you put there. You can never play newer games with a PCI video card.
If you really want to enjoy PC gaming, upgrade your rig. Put more horsepower on the video card.
