I've been pretty pleased with my Mushkin level 1 PC3500. Got it for $99 at newegg (512 stick). Able to run a decent overclock of 230 @ 2.9v with 2-3-3-6 timings. Will run up to 240, but will get errors in memtest. If you have more voltage, they should be able to do pretty decent. Doesn't the Max3 have 3.2v for vdimm?
This RAM is not a good choice for overclocking a 2.4c on an IC7-Max3 board. It uses Winbond CH5 chips, which will almost certainly hit a brick wall between 250-270MHz and not allow you to go any higher regardless of timings or the memory divider. This issue has been present on most i865/i875 boards for nearly a year now, and seems to be unfixable.
