Unbuffered or Registered

[Guest]

I’m building a new system and I can’t decide on the type of memory. I know my new mobo will take unbuffered and registered. I also know that registered is for servers and stuff like that, but what I don’t know is what it does (how it works) and how much it will slow my SDRAM down. Can some one help??

I plan on using crucial 256MB DDR PC1600 • CL=2.5 • Unbuffered or Registered • ECC • 2.5V • 32Meg x 72

If some one could explain how unbuffered and registered memory works I would greatly appreciate it.

I take it you took the price quotes from crucial.com? There is a FAQ there. It explains everything.
