how-to-read the numbers on a memory stick

what do the numbers mean on memory sticks?

I'm assuming you're referring to the timings (4-4-4-12, etc...). Timings indicate how many cycles pass when requesting data from RAM. Lower numbers are better when it comes to timings so 4-4-4-12 timings are faster than 5-5-5-15 timings.
