SDXC cards can now be bought for a sensible price. Try 7dayshop.com – there is currently a 64 GB card on sale for £14.99 inc. P&P.

Disclaimers: I have no connection with 7dayshop except as a satisfied customer. I haven’t bought one of the SDXC cards so I can’t vouch for it.

Can I use an SDXC card with my PandoRO?

I have an SD socket which plugs into a USB socket.

PandaBoards only support up to 32GB.
We offer the RaspberryRO with 64GB SD Cards and I’ve seen reports that 128GB work on a Pi!

This is only the half truth. Maybe for Linux.
I use a 64GB card since a long time with my Panda A4 (a selfmade) and my Panda ES (a !SystemDisc made). No problems with RISC OS. More than 40GB are used with mediafiles (music and films).

Doh! I really should know what I sell: http://www.cjemicros.co.uk/micros/individual/newprodpages/prodinfo.php?prodcode=VAR-64GB-RISCOS-PRO
My excuse is I was probably thinking of the Pi accepting 128MB but the Panda not.

How peculiar – we ship almost all ARMiniXs as 64Gb and many with 128Gb storage. Mind you, I’m exceedingly fussy about only supplying the most reliable storage cards to avoid problems, so perhaps that affects things. Either way, I know our systems seem happy at 128Gb.

Perhaps that’s a good point. I bought a super fast whoo-hoo-and-all-that 16GB SD for the Pi. Turns out this was noted as an incompatible card. So instead I put it in the PC to drop animé upon. ;-)
At any rate, anything cheap or out of the ordinary risks reliability issues.
