Don't know about them, but anything Kingston should work.  Atari uses Kingston from the factory, why not stick with it?

What speeds will work?

Apparently you can adjust the BIOS for up to 3200 MHz.  However If you read the specs on the R1606G chip, It will only operate the RAM at 2400 MHz.  So I don't think faster RAM is of any advantage.

I believe this is correct, I've asked two engineers from AMD on separate occasions about this and they said you might be able to get the system to show it's using 3200 but the processor will step it down internally to 2400 and cannot use the RAM any faster.  I put 2400MHz 32GB in one of my VCS systems and it just worked without having to do anything in the BIOS.
