Ok so now I know that DDR system memory is compatible with GDDR2 video cards. But what about DDR system mem. and DDR2 vid. cards? Does the DDR2 vid. mem. use any of the DDR sys. mem. or is it all for itself in the video card?

There is no need for compatibility between system memory and video memory.
The video memory on the video card is only used by the video card. It is not used by the system so you do not need to worry about it.
You could have a Gddr2 video card on an old SDRAM computer if you wanted to.

the kind of RAM that your device has does no longer incorporate, or is included with, the video RAM. The "G" in GDDR ability "pics", and is used only for the memory needed for the video card. you've DDR device memory and GDDR3 video memory devoid of any compatibility issues.

unless the memory is shared ( like cheap computers with onboard video ) no, all video cards use there own memory
