PC 3200 is the fastest for your box My references follow
Mactracker says
pc3200 184 pin for the 4 ram slot boxes
note:
Early 2005 4 slots (dual 2.0 GHz), or 8 slots- PC-3200 (dual 2.3 GHz+)
2.5v, unbuffered, 8-byte, nonparity
184-pin DDR SDRAM (matched pairs)
Late 2005 2.0, 2.3, or dual 2.5 GHz 8 - 240-pin PC2-4200 (533MHz)
DDR2 ECC or NECC SDRAM (matched pairs)
