Hi Don,

you can use SRAM and SDRAM together, you will just have to select the address range to use one or the other, just look at the Altera's development boards, they have an SRAM and an SDRAM (actually, my Altera Cyclone dev board does).

Anyway, we have developped our own board with only a 16 Mo SDRAM and it works perfectly, no need for expensive (but fast) SRAM.

Hope it helps,
