Took a punt and bought 2 X 512 GEIL PC3500 Ultra Platinum. A$70 each cheaper than Corsair XMS PC3500 . Best overclock fsb 1:1 454mhz @ 2-3-3-6 timings
454 @ CAS 2 is stunning at least 20 mhz over there rated speed 433 mhz. Rock stable ran 3dmak2003, 3dmark2001, superPI, PCmark2002, Quake3, UT 2003 benchmark numerous times with no sign of instabillity. Would definitely buy GEIL ram again !!

I have a pair of GEil Golden Dragon PC3500 512mb in Dual Channel and it will run fine at 433 (2.4c @ 2.6) with default timings and 2.65v. I have stability problems at 3.0GHz however, although I am attributing it to the CPU as I'm running a 4/5 on the RAM and the CPU is undervolting according to Winbond on my IS7.

Don't bother trying to figure it out, thats probably the highest your chip will do.
