Had 6gb PC8500 in mine, reckon 8gb is the max.

You can buy 800MHz:

PC2-6400 800MHz

The PC2-8500 1066MHz is out of stock.

What do you already have?

I have OCZ SLI-Ready Edition 4GB 1066MHz Dual Channel and wanted to upgrade for bf3

That's 2x2GB I assume?

You could buy 2x2GB of 800MHz RAM and run all 8GB at 800MHz.

Or you can ask OcUK when/if they'll be getting the 1066MHz RAM back in stock.

Or you can look elsewhere and perhaps consider second hand.

Unfortunately DDR2 is very expensive at £50/£60 for 4GB.

Edit:

You do have a 64 bit operating system so you can use more than 4GB?

I've no idea why you would be trying to search for that.

Try "DDR2 1066MHz 4GB" or "PC2-8500 4GB".
