How does this look to you?

Kingston ValueRam 256MB PC2700 - $45.00
Two of these would do the trick. Or 1 stick of the same type in 512MB would be $81.00. That would be more upgradeable.

I would switch the MB to an Asus or Abit board. Shuttle boards are made by ECS, which is known for making low quality MB's. And the MB isn't something you want to skimp on. Check out the Asus A7N8X series, or maybe the Abit NF7-S.
