i think that basically the smaller the number the better.

4-4-4-12 is better than 5-5-5-12.

it means how many clock ticks the memory needs to wait before it's ready to send stuff again (simplified obviously) so the lower, the better :)

now it doesn't make that much of a difference though, one tick of the internal clock is only a microsecond or so? (not sure, but either way very very short :D) so you won't really notice the difference :) :wink:
