Difference in Unbuffered and Registered?

[Guest]

I am waiting for DDR333 to hit the markets, but looking at the KingMax website they show Unbuffered and Registered DIMMS. Is that the same as ECC and NON-ECC? Also which is preferred these days. Mostly for gaming machines and Internet browsing. Light business apps as well.

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.
