Heiho,
SD RAM and DDR RAM are not compatible (neither electronically nor mechanically). Thus if you want to build a PC based on that Asus MB you'll _need_ DDR RAM. SD RAM was quite popular with servers way longer than it was on home/office PCs, which may give this guy the opportunity to sell his modules and still get some serious bucks out of it*. But not from you ;-) SD RAM is outdated technology, you shouldn't build a new system based on it.
* I wasn't interested in purchasing RAM for some time, but a check at some online hardware vendor indicates that SD RAM 133 is about 4x the price of DDR RAM 400, and modules beyond 512MB are rare.
