This little number sequence is probably the number of 'clock cycles' for each phase of accesssing ram. Essentially the lower the numbers the faster the ram.
That '15' at the end is a bit worrying - It's the ram recovery time.


Forgot to add: some bios's allow you to play with these timing parameters... But you have to know what you're doing of course.
The worst you can do is crash the system at startup, so you can reset and change these parameters until it works.
