I am trying to install Autocad 2007 in my system ,but it fails. One of system person told me to increase Graphics card. So I am planning to purchase (online) Galaxy NVIDIA GeForce 210 1 GB DDR3 Graphics Card which is in my range Rs.2000.

My doubt is, will the DDR3 graphics card be supported along with my DDR2 RAM? As I am planning to purchase online, I am worried to place a order.

My system specification is Intel Core2Duo, 2 GB DDR2 RAM.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

It would absolutely work. Your video card more often than not uses a different type of ram (GDDRx) from your system anyway.

DDR3 is a lower performing (but cooler running) alternative for GDDR4/5 (or various other numbers) used in passively cooled cards or to cut costs. The DDR3 in this case is used by your GPU not your video card and would work.

I'm running a gforce 450 varient which uses DDR3 on an older system with ddr2 ram on the main board

According to my knowledge, the DDR3 graphics card be supported along with my DDR2 RAM but check whether the PCI express slot and SMPS will be supported with your new NVIDIA GeForce 210 1 GB DDR3
