Abit IC7 Max 3 board...which memory?

Hi,

I'm not necessarily interested in overclocking at this time but
figured I'd ask a question in this forum after a Google search as the
participants here likely know the most about RAM and compatibility
from what I've browsed through.

My old system is going to my son and I believe I'd like to build a
system with the Abit IC7 Max 3 board. My two previous Abit boards
never gave me problems so I'd like to stick with Abit.

My primary interest is in stability at this time. Looking at
Monarch Computer I am offered a range of memory options [that they
will test before shipping]. I'd like to get 512 meg of RAM at this
time and to do so with 2-256 meg chips. I have twice had memory chips
go bad on me. The first time was a a single 512 chip and I was down
for almost a week. I managed to get 2 -256 to replace it and again
lost a chip but could keep running. Both chips were from Crucial
Memory.

Here are the options from the drop-down window when I chose the
Abit IC7 Max 3 board:

DDR(266)2100 - 512 [2 pcs 256] Muskin 990997
DDR(333)2700 - 512 [2 pcs 256] Corsair XMS (TwinX512-2700LLPT)
DDR(400)3200 - 512 [2 pcs 256] Corsair XMS (TwinX512-3200C2PT)
DDR(400)3200 - 512 [2 pcs 256] Corsair XMS (TwinX512-3200LLPT)
DDR(400)3200 - 512 [2 pcs 256] Muskin 991088
DDR(400)3200 - 512 [2 pcs 256] Muskin 991139
DDR(400)3200 - 512 [2 pcs 256] Muskin 991155
DDR(400)3200 - 512 [2 pcs 256] OCZ (OCZ400512ELDC-K)
DDR(400)3200 - 512 [2 pcs 256] OCZ (OCZ400512ELDCPE-K)
DDR(433)3500 - 512 [2 pcs 256] Muskin 991090
DDR(400)3200 - 512 [2 pcs 256] OCZ (OCZ433512PFDC-K)
DDR(466)3700 - 512 [2 pcs 256] OCZ (OCZ466512PFDC-K)
DDR(500)4000 - 512 [2 pcs 256] Corsair XMS (TwinX512-4000PT)
DDR(500)4000 - 512 [2 pcs 256] Muskin 991128
DDR(533)4200 - 512 [2 pcs 256] OCZ (OCZ533512PFDC-K)

Could someone please tell me what the best choice would likely be?

Thanks in advance,
John
