I'm curious about this also since my Simpltech Nitro's aren't cutting it for me....
 
I like the new OCZ 3500 EB. It will run at 250 fsb 1:1. And why would you want to set it at 5:4. If you do set it there for what ever reason it will perform great there too. I will not just come out and flat reccomend it to you however. I feel you really need to do some reading to help you better understand memory. Here is a link to Anandtech where they review this mem but it is also compared to many other mem sticks. Give it a read!!

Here is another really good article for you to read

These will help you to help yourself make decisons about what you want in your system.
Ultimately it is up to you and what you can afford that will determine what you end up with. Crucial just came out with pc3200 ballistix mem chips it oc's past 500 and really kicks. OCZ just came out with some pc3200 that clocks to 534 DDR and really kicks too .So read The crucial is $140 per 512meg chip when you can get it!!
