Yes, if a game requires 256MB onboard RAM and you don't have it, the game is going to stop at the install when the installer doesn't detect the appropriate amount of vRAM; however, if this same card was used on an XP machine to play the same games, then there's something else going on.

What that is I don't know yet; we just don't have enough information? Full system specs, more importantly, accurate system specs and the games he's trying to play might give us more insight?
