I cannot comment on the use of your motherboard memory -- it is board 
specific.  However, you can buy a generic expanded memory board for an 
XT for $80 to $100 plus memory from many mail order places.  The one I had 
(when my XT was alive) allowed to configure it either as all expanded or 
all extended or as a combination of conventional (to complete to 640K if 
you didn't have it) and extended.  The board came with an expanded memory 
driver.
