If these are not compatable can u help me find what is?
Whoa whoa whoa, hold yer horses there pardner! Buying computer stuff from Bestbuy is the worst thing you can do. (Well not the worst, but you get the idea.) Let me show you why:
Computer: Gateway Model # DX4200-09
Price from Bestbuy Online (not available in-store) - $510
Same computer from tigerdirect.com - $460

ATi Radeon HD 4350 1GB (1 Gigabyte on a Radeon HD 4350? You've got to be kidding me!)
Price at Besbuy: $60 (GASP!!!!)
Price at tigerdirect: $50 (STILL GASPING!!!!)
You do NOT need 1GB on that card unless you have a monitor that is over 30" in size. Somehow I doubt that you do. Get the 512mb version, the 1GB will not offer you ANY performance improvement AT ALL. It's just a way to get your money, believe me, I used to work at tigerdirect.
For the 512mb version, how does $38 sound plus a $10 mail-in rebate to bring it down to $28? Yeah, I thought you might like that. Here's the link:

As for the RAM, $55 for a 2GB no-name DDR2-667 RAM stick is no great value, I don't care what they call it. How a bout a 2GB DDR2-667 by Patriot? (Patriot is a big name) How about only paying $48 instead of $55?

Let's see... I just saved you.... $89.
And yes all that stuff works together. And you're lucky too because I remember the Gateway systems we sold at TigerDirect had only 250watt power supplies. I checked newegg.com and there was a review that stated that this machine has a 300W power supply which is the minimum for the Radeon HD 4350. I would have normally quoted newegg.com but they say that this machine is no longer available so I looked at TigerDirect.
