If the graphics card has GDDR2 memory, is it compatible with a Pentium 4 that uses DDR memory? Thanks.

As said before it'll be compatible, but only if it's the right interface. For example you can't put a PCI express card in an AGP slot, so make sure you have the right sort.
Specifically GDDR2 and GDDR3 are separate from DDR2 and DDR3.
You can even get GPUs with GDDR4 on them now.
