You want the 50.00 MHz crystal; there's a 10x PLL in there somewhere. 

Pick up the pc164 technical manual from 
http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/info/semiconductor/literature/pc164trm.pdf
and have a look at page 29 (or 2-5 in atrocious DEC style); it shows
the jumper settings for different frequencies. 500MHz is all four of
the "IRQ" jumpers out.
