260MHz max - from CycloneIII faq:

embedded memory

what type of embedded memory and memory features do cyclone iii fpgas have?

Cyclone III FPGAs offer up to 4 Mbit of embedded memory. The embedded memory consists of columns of 9-Kbit (M9K) RAM blocks, each capable of data transfer rates up to 260 MHz. Each M9K RAM block can implement various types of memory, including true dual-port, simple dual-port, and single-port RAM, ROM, and first-in first-out (FIFO) buffers. Each block also includes extra parity bits for error control, mixed-width mode, and mixed-clock mode support.

Please refer to the cyclone iii embedded memory page (http://www.altera.com/products/devices/cyclone3/overview/architecture/cy3-emb-memory.html) for more details.
