Tomshardware does a breakdown comparing the difference between memory set with tight timings and memory set at high frequencies.

These two particular aspects of memory have been thrown around in overclocking circles quite a lot. Many enthusiasts spend a lot of money trying to get memory that can perform at the the tightest settings, allowing them to squeeze that little extra performance from their computer.

The other side of the coin is to just make the memory clock as high as possible. Just getting memory to go as fast as you can to get the same effects as the tight timings.

In their very in-depth, if not slightly confusing article they compare the differenc when overclocking in these two different ways.

The best part of the article is the conclusion where they advise to basically just get enough memory, which they recommend as 2GB (2 sticks of 1GB in dual channel setup). For better game performance just get a better video card and if not a gamer, invest in CPU and hard drive.

Take a look at this very comprehensive article for yourself.
