I personally wouldn't recommend getting ddr memory right now for two reasons:
1. Sdram is so inexpensive right now as apposed to ddr memory
2. I don't feel that right now ddr is used to its potential it really isnt a 10% performance increase in most cases and it doesn't justify its cost.

Go with either the asus A7V133 or KT7A raid and some sdram. With the setup you could pick up more memory for your system at the same price you would with less ddr memory.

either of these boards will support the 200 bus or 266 bus t-bird. The 266 bus t-bird would be the better performer. Basically go with the sdram because the ddr memorys cost doesn't jusify its performance

this is true. ddr is VERY expensive, go for a nice 256mb memory module, or even a 512.
