You might be able to find a board with the KT133A chipset that supports both DDR and SDRam... I kinda doubt that matchup, but you never know. In that case you could use you SDRam now, then put in DDR after Christmas when you gets the funds. Also, I personally suggest MSI because I fell they make really good quality stuff, but you can find comparable boards at cheaper prices. I don't quite know of other prices off the top of my head (yeah right... this is from my post to someone else a few days ago) but these are currert prices from the best boards to go with the Athlon Xp:
MSI K7 Master-S 266 DDR 6341-S $265
MSI K7T 266 Pro r RU Raid DDR $145
MSI K7T 266 Pro 2 KT266A DDR $116
Asus A7V 266-E KT266A DDR $185
Asus A7V266 KT 266 DDR Socket A $154
Asus A7M AMD 761 266 DDR $159
Abit KG7 Raid DDR $158
Abit KG7 266 DDR $136
Also if you just want to get the minimum amount of Ram (be it SD and DDR) it shouldn't be much more than $20 or there abouts... but I know what you are talking about. The boards can get a little pricey as it is.
