Whilst perusing TheTechRepository, I came across an idea by FCG for rating memory according to its published data:

Long story short, memory with a high frequency, low CAS and low voltage is better. We all know this, but it's nice to have a quantitative way to estimate it.

I went through a few sticks of 2 x 1GB memory from OcUK and came up with the following table:

Highlighted in green are the high performace and high VFM (value for money = performance / price inc VAT).

I'd be intrigued to hear people's opinions and real-life experiences, since very few people will have access to ALL of the memory listed. How does it tally with overclocking for example?
