Here's a couple URLs from DDR3 manufacturers' web sites that actually 
use the more-significant-digits format:

http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr3_pc3_10666_platinum_edition

http://www.patriotmemory.com/products/detailp.jsp?prodline=5&catid=19&prodgroupid=71&id=725&type=1

I'm not arguing for this format, just pointing out that there is some 
degree of inconsistency in what vendors and manufacturers are using.
