For the RAM byteworks uses, type and size are pretty much it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_random_access_memory

There are tons of kinds of RAM, but Byteworks very seldom uses  
anything other than one kind -  SDR SDRAM - most of it 168 pin DIMMs  
of the PC100 or PC133 variety.  The specification PC100 +  a size is  
enough to specify a 64 bit 168 pin 3.3V SDRAM DIMM.  This can also  
mean a 144 pin SO-DIMM, but they are obviously different and the SO- 
DIMM is usually referred to as such.  Sometimes various types of DDR  
appear in the shop, but rarely.  Right now there are somewhere in the  
range of 2-4 DDR DIMMS in the shop, compared to the 100s of SDR DIMMS.

What factors are important for RAM?  Number of pins, size, and speed
come to mind.  Anything else?
